2002 Dodge Viper Complaints

I BOUGHT 4 NEW PIRELLI P400 TOURING TIRES AT A DISCOUNT TIRE STORE IN VENTURA COUNTY CALIF ABOUT 3 OR 4 YEARS AGO. ABOUT 1 YEAR AGO ONE OF THE TIRES HAD A TREAD SEPARATION. I JUST GOT BACK FROM THE TIRE DEALER AND ONE MORE OF THE 4 TIRES HAS A TREAD SEPARATION. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING 35 YEARS AND HAVE NEVER HAD A SINGLE ONE BEFORE. IS THIS BAD LUCK OR ARE THESE BAD TIRES. *AK

I OWN A 2002 DODGE INTREPID, FIRST OFF I HAVE ALWAYS KEPT UP ON MAINTENANCE. I FINANCED THE CAR ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO. ALL OF A SUDDEN ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO I NOTICED THE OIL LIGHT ON, ME THINKING I MAY BE LOW ON OIL I SIMPLY TOOK IT TO GET SERVICED JUST BECAUSE OF THE OIL LIGHT. THAT DIDN'T HELP THE CAR OIL LIGHT REMAINED. ABOUT A WEEK AFTER THAT I HEARD A STRANGE KNOCKING NOISE AND THEN BOOM IN THE MIDDLE OF A INTERSECTION AS I WAS ABOUT TO TURN LEFT IT DIED ! TOOK IT TO A DODGE DEALER IN MY AREA TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT I ENDED UP PAYING OVER $1500 AND HAD THE CAR STALL ON ME VARIOUS TIMES AFTER IT WAS SUPPOSEDLY FIXED! FINALLY TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC FOR A THIRD OPINION, BY THEN THE CAR WAS NOT RUNNING. I WAS TOLD THE ENGINE WAS BAD. THE DODGE DEALERSHIP SHOULD HAVE BEEN HONEST AND TOLD ME THE CAR WAS NOT OPERABLE. PLEASE HELP .....*JB

2002 DODGE DURANGO. ALL OF A SUDDEN LOST OIL PRESSURE, AND THEN THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHTS STARTED COMING ON. I DISCOVERED IT WAS THE OIL PUMP, AND A FRIEND THAT WORKED FOR A DODGE DEALERSHIP, SAID THEY GET THIS COMPLAINT ALL THE TIME. I DROVE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP, WHERE I PURCHASED THE $2000.00 EXTENDED WARRANTY, AND FOUND OUT THAT IT WILL NOT BE COVERED BECAUSE I DID NOT MAINTAIN THE OIL CHANGES, AND THE ENGINE HAD SLUDGE. I TOLD THE CAR REPAIR PEOPLE THEY WERE INSANE TO THINK THAT I WOULD PURCHASE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY AND A $28,000 CAR AND NOT SPEND $30-$40 BUCKS ON AN OIL CHANGES. HOW OUTRAGEOUS AND INSULTING!! THEY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING UNTIL I COME UP WITH THE COST TO REPLACE THE ENGINE, $5400. PAYING A $500 CAR PAYMENT EACH MONTH FOR SOMETHING THAT HAS NO USE TO ME UNTIL I COME UP WITH $5400 TO REPLACE THE ENGINE. I AM BESIDE MYSELF AND THEY ARE RUINING ME.*AK
