Consumer Description

AT JUST OVER 73000 MILES KNOCKING SOUND BEGAN FROM ENGINE. I STOPPED DRIVING AND TOOK TO MECHANIC, I WAS INFORMED MOTOR WAS SHOT AND WOULD NEED COMPLETE REBUILD. CAR HAD BEEN SERVICED SINCE PURCHASE ACCORDING TO CHRYLSER RECOMMENDATIONS. AS I CONTACTED SERVICE & SALVAGE SHOPS TO EXPLAIN MY NEED, THEY (5 DIFFERENT SHOPS) STARTED TELLING ME THE PROBLEM BEFORE I COULD FINISH. SAID 2.7 MOTOR WAS DEFECT FROM FACTORY. I HAD TO HAVE COMPLETE ENGINE REBUILD AT COST OF $3000 AS I COULD NOT AFFORD TO BUY ANOTHER MOTOR. I CONTACTED DEALER ABOUT PROBLEM AND THEY SAID THEY NEVER HEARD OF THIS. SAID THEY WOULD LOOK INTO IT AND GET BACK WITH ME AND NEVER DID. FROM WHAT I HAVE BEEN TOLD THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE 2.7 ENGINE AND EVERYONE SEEMS TO BE AWARE OF IT BUT CHRYLSER.
