| I have a 2001 dodge intrepid with approx 70k miles. i had no warning anything was wrong and when i stopped to pick up my 6 year old child the car never started again. i brought it to a local (trustworthy) mechanic and after a 215.10 bill i was told my engine failed and i would have to pay approx 5k to repair it. my mechanic asked if i kept up on the oil changes and i stated that i did. after research himself he informed me that this is an ongoing problem with the 2.7 engines. i still owe on the vehicle 5k and i am a single parent and now have no car and still paying on it. *nm | |||

| Engine valve clatter. the engine has a high pitch valve clatter when any load is put on the vehicle such as passing a vehicle. the dealer has performed service bulletin items. the dealer tells me to burn 93 octane fuel. the owners manual says to use 87 octane. talked with numerous dodge owners who have the same concern. does the engine clatter mean an engine problem now or in the future? dealer not concerned.*ak | |||
