2007 Dodge Intrepid Problem

The coolant system appears to have exploded; loss of power steering and power breaks and there's water/coolant in the oil pan. From reading about other owners similar engine failures, I feel lucky to have gotten so many miles out of it. To fix this problem would cost much more than this car is worth.

With no warning the engine just shut down. Coolant in the lower engine case.To our surprise this is a common problem. We were given a price of 6,000 dollars to replace the engine. Kelly blue book for this car is 3,500. Needless to say we're not fixing it. . With only 75,000 mile we were hoping for two more years from this car. This is the first car I owned that didn't make it over 125,000 miles.
