Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: i pressed the accelerator to pass someone and the car didn't sound quite right afterwards. it was due to have the oil changed and did so regularly from the beginning of the car when i bought it brand new in 2000. the technician said that when he changed the oil there was sludge build up. so i put a oil treatment in to see if it would help. i ran my car for less than a week after that and as i was driving to into work my car starting knocking very loud. right now i am looking at a possible $500 to $4800 fix. my car has almost 100,000 miles on it and almost paid off. my engine is the 2.7 dodge intrepid. as i found out that my engine one of the worst on the market. there aren't very many of the engines left in the junk yards even. my mechanic said he is putting in the second engine in a couples car from last year. the 2.7 is junk. *jb
