Helpful Websites About 2002 Dodge Intrepid blown head gasket (2.7L engine) fried bearings

The engine overheated, with no warning at all, on Oct.8th. 1 cooling fan, connector, upper intake gasket, lower intake gasket, intake manifold and labor& tax at a cost $933.80 the car was back on the road Oct.13th. Oct.19th, the head gasket has blown and the mechanic has informed me that a new engine is required. I don't know the actual estimate but I'm guessing 5 to 7 thousand. He also directed me to look into a class action that he states has helped several other Intrepid owners recover the cost of repair because of poor engine design in the 2.7L. I'm not holding my breath. I have been around long enough to know that ranting does absolutely no good. I can only hope that this may help others with this problem, or better yet, avoid purchasing a car with this particular engine.
