Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I have a 98 dodge intrepid ready to be re-possessed. i bought the car in 2001 with 53000 miles on it. 2 years later the engine blew with no warning as i was getting off i-95. it cost me $4200 to replace the engine. a year later the 2nd engine blew and again with no warning as i was driving on i 95. i replaced the engine again at $2400 because i still owed money on my loan. the second engine lasted about another year and now overheats after driving it for a half hour. i took it to the mechanic and he said that the heads are bad and the engine is cracked. i will not put a 3rd engine in this car. i still owe $5000 on my loan and can't afford to pay for it any more since i went and bought a 2001 honda that i need to get to and from work. *jb
