Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I purchased a 01' intrepid r/t in october of 2006. the engine failed in march for no explained reason while i was driving at 40 mph. i found a receipt in the car stating that the engine was replaced at 89,000 miles by another used 3.5l v6 but did not specify the mileage on that car. i purchased the car with 95,000 miles on it, and drove it normally until at about 99,000 miles, the engine failed. i will replacing it with another used engine with 48,000 miles, making this the third engine in this car under 100,000 miles. i took it to the dodge dealer to diagnose it, and they stated that they could not tell me the problem unless they tore the engine apart and recommended replacing the engine. *jb
