2001 dodge intrepid r/t 3.5l with 111,422 miles. while driving on the tollway, the heater began to blow out cool air. later there was no acceleration and the car just died. got the car to the side of the road while in traffic. had to be towed. engine is locked up. new engine estimate $5000-$7500. no check engine lights or warnings. prior to this event we had a new radiator, thermostat, etc. put in along with fixing oil leakage problem. that was july 28, 2011 with 107,809 miles on it. we always changed our oil regularly and took care of it. we bought this 2001 r/t intrepid new. the only other real problem was @ 106,939 miles it wouldn't go back into drive once you put it in reverse so we put in a used control module to fix that problem. i have read about a lot of complaints with the 2.7l engine but can't find much information on the 3.5 r/t model. so scary to think how many 2001 intrepids are just dying on the road with no advance notice. very dangerous. i am so glad that my son was driving ...
Car was maintained immaculately, 3 weeks before the doa date, there was a very faint ticking sound (like a roulette wheel spinning "click" sound) coming from under the hood. took the car to the mechanic to have the oil changed and have the cars new noise checked. he said it could be a lifter ticking and the oil change solved the problem. he was correct about the sound muting however the issue may be the tiny oil port holes in these mitsubishi made mopar engines. on the day of the engines death it made the same ticking sound, my cue that i could share with anyone about to have this failure occur, when i would start the car i noticed an extra "spinning" sound under the hood when i would start the car. it is minor so listen close to your start-up. the ticking got louder and eventually at a stop light on the way to the mechanic the car stopped and would not run. do an internet search for dodge intrepid 2000 2.7 liter motor you will find a horror show on the internet. loved the car while it worked but the death was too premature, i only drive ...
While driving to work the car lost power and acceleration several times and finally made a loud clanking banging sound. it stalled and completely stopped about a minute after the sounds. i had the car towed to my mechanic's shop and he said the engine had seized due to oil sludge build-up and that the engine would have to be replaced. he also stated that this was a familiar occurrence with this specific engine, the 2.7l v6. dodge is aware of the problem with their product and will do anything they can to avoid taking responsibility for their defective product. *tt
