Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: My name is [xxx] and i own a 1997 dodge intrepid w/86k miles. i have well cared for this vehicle. this past weekend, i have experienced the engine seized/quit issue while driving 75 mph on the expressway with my two kids. i figured it was the heat; so i let it cool down. started back on our road trip.. which it happened again 10 miles later. mind you; there was a full tank of gas from shell, recent oil change and fuel filter change. one year earlier, i have replaced the thermostat/injection rail for the same problem. i have called customer service at chrysler-dodge but the recall for this year is only with the 3.5 engine; not the 3.3 engine-so they will not pay for the repair at the dealership. thank god my older mother wasn't driving the car; for she wouldn't be able to handle the manual steering and able to get the car safely to the shoulder without causing a severe accident. i just wanted to be heard and share my story w/you. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr
