Intrepid Issues

Is there a lemon law in your state? I would have an attorney make a few
calls and write a few letters. I would also place a complaint with the
Better Business Bureau. Park the car with signs hanging on it how the
dealership and Chrysler will not honor the warranty. They hate when the
local media gets hold of this. It makes them look bad and they don't like
it.

Extended warranties exclude neglect and does not pay for lack of maintenance
issues., Not saying that the car was not properly maintained, and not saying
it was, But if it is sludged up and there is only 2 reciepts, and probably
never had the car at the dealer, You have to ask yourself...is it neglect?

Lemon law does not apply to this. And when you put a sign on the window,
make sure you hang the oil reciepts up with it.

Any advice? Same problems?

I have a 2001 2.7 engine with 135,000miles - running o.k.
Recurring problem: check this out:

Excerpt from letter - "It’s not the consumers who are "defective" in following maintenance schedules; it’s the 2.7L engine. Ask what changes Chrysler made in the 2.7L engine when it went from a 3 year/36,000 mile warranty in 2002 to a 7 year/70,000 mile warranty in 2003 to prevent the below 70,000 mile failures so common in 1998-2002 models? Ask why Toyota, Volkswagen and yes, Mercedes, owners are given extended warranties for engine oil sludge damage but not 2.7L Chrysler owners?"

Good luck!
