Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: My wife's car would not start for her went she was going to go to work. for about the last eight to ten months the oil light was coming on and she took it to a auto shop an they said that it was a oil sensor. they replaced it and i also changed the oil. after it would not start on 2/05/07 she had it towed to the shop where they said it was the battery and the starter, but that didn't work. the guy that was working on it noticed that the engine was a 2.7 v6 motor. he told us that the car had locked up and would never start again due to oil starvation. he also said that he had seen this one other time. the year of her car is a 2004 dodge intrepid. he also stated that cars that have that 2.7 size motor made by daimler chrysler have this oil starvation problem which cause my wife's car to lock up. if this is true it could be a danger to others with this size motor if they are driving and the car may lock up. we are still looking into what will be done to resolve this issue but would like to let people know that if they have the 2.7 v6 size motor in their car and the oil light keeps coming on especially during braking to get it checked asap. thank you *jb
