What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owns a 2001 dodge intrepid. While exiting from the freeway at 30 MPH the engine locked. The vehicle was towed home, not sure of current or failure mileage, or incident date. The vehicle had not been looked at by a dealer, and the vehicle had no prior repairs done besides oil changes.
Had a noise coming from the top of my engine that started on my way to work one morning. Drove it home and then took it to the dodge dealership to have it looked at. They said the engine was bad due to sludge and needed replaced. The timing chain had not broken yet so they said if didn't replace the engine, I should replace the timing chain and get rid of the car.
