NHTSA complaint: 2001 DODGE INTREPID — ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
MY ENGINE BEGAN TICKING, I PULLED OVER POPPED THE HOOD AND SMOKE ROLLED OUT, I CHECKED THE FLUID LEVELS AND TRIED TO RESTART THE CAR, IT WOULDN'T START, I WAITED A FEW MINUTES TRIED STARTING IT AGAIN AND IT WORKED, I DROVE 3 MILES HOME AND THE ENGINE DIED AS I TURNED DOWN MY STREET, ONCE AGAIN THE ENGINE WAS SMOKING SO I POPPED THE HOOD AND FLAMES SHOT UP, I PUT THE FLAMES OUT AND THE CAR HAS BEEN SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY SINCE. I HAVE DONE NOTHING TO REPAIR IT SINCE APPARENTLY IT'S A DESIGN OF DODGE AND CHRYSLER'S 2.7 V6 ACCORDING TO MANY OTHER OWNERS. *NM
