Just wondering if there is anyone else having a problem with the 2.7 engines in the dodge intrepids? Mine is a 2000 and only havs 46,000 miles on it and having major problems with engine...the dealer ship where i bought it is telling me it will cost $6,200 for a remanufactured one...this sounds way to much to me. Any reply would help!
What happened to the 7/70 powertrain warrenty?????
Live near Indianapolis ?? Hill's garage will do it for about 4500, includes fluids and all...
There is also a guy advertising on the web @
And changing the oil a bit oftener than recommended apparently elliminates the problem. Change every 3000 miles or 4 times a year minimum.
Oh Yes! There is a problem with the 2.7 engine. We have 58,000 on our 2000 Intrepid and it now sits at the dealer with dead motor. We do have 7/70000 warranty that should cover it. The engine can not circulate the oil properly and cooks it to nice thick sludge. Synthetic oil is the only choice for this engine since it can take the heat. Check out this link.
