THE VEHICLE AT THAT TIME HAD 48,000 MILES ON IT.  IN JULY OF 2007 (AT 78,000 MILES) I EXPERIENCED ENGINE PROBLEMS AND, AFTER BRINGING IT BACK TO HOLLEY DODGE FOR SERVICE, WAS TOLD THE ENGINE HAD LOW COMPRESSION AND WAS OFFERED REPAIR OPTIONS OF: 1) TEARING DOWN THE MOTOR WHICH WOULD COST AT LEAST $2,500 DEPENDING UPON WHAT IS FOUND; 2) A REBUILT MOTOR FOR $3,500+; OR 3) A NEW MOTOR FOR $4,500+.  THE WARRANTY DID NOT COVER THE COST (36,000 MILES/3 YEARS).  I HAD MAINTAIN THE CARE CAREFULLY, CHANGING THE OIL EVERY 3,000 MILE WHICH IS MORE FREQUENT THAN RECOMMENDED IN THE OWNERS MANUAL. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS MATTER, I DISCOVERED A VAST AMOUNT OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS FROM ALL OVER THE UNITED STATES AS WELL AS NUMEROUS WEB SITES DEVOTED TO THIS 2.7-LITER DAIMLERCHRYSLER ENGINE PROBLEM.  EXPERTS BELIEVE THE ENGINE PROBLEMS MAY BE DUE TO ENGINE DEFECTS OR OIL SLUDGE BUILD-UP THAT IS COMMON IN 2.7L VEHICLES. I HAVE READ THAT THE CENTER FOR AUTO SAFETY HAS RECEIVED FIVE TIMES MORE OIL SLUDGE COMPLAINTS ON CHRYSLER 2.7L VEHICLES THAN OTHER VEHICLES.  APPARENTLY THESE COMPLAINTS INVOLVE QUITE A FEW DODGE AND CHRYSLER VEHICLES FROM 1998 TO PRESENT. I BELIEVE CHRYSLER IS VIOLATING CONSUMER RIGHTS UNDER LEMON LAWS OR OTHER CONSUMER-PROTECTION LAWS. CAN YOU ADVISE ME?  THANKS, MIKE VENESKI  *TR","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2002","productMake":"DODGE","productModel":"INTREPID","manufacturer":"Chrysler (FCA US, LLC)"}]}]}
