Consumer Description

OIL WAS CHANGED EVERY 3000 MILES. NO WARNING LIGHTS OR ANY TYPE OF WARNING WHEN MY ENGINE FAILED AFTER ONLY 43,000 MILES. IT IS A 2001 CHRYSLER SEBRING SEDAN. AFTER RESEARCHING I FOUND THAT THESE ENGINES 2.7 LITER FOUND IN THE SEBRING AND INTREPID ARE PRONE TO SLUDGE AND PREMATURE FAILURE. MY WARRANTY WAS UP AT 36,000 MILES AND I AM GOING BACK AND FORTH TRYING TO GET SOME HELP WITH THESE REPAIRS CONSISTING OF $4988.45. A NEW ENGINE SHOULD NOT BE NEEDED IN A VEHICLE WITH 43,000 MILES. (AND I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE) I HAVE SPOKEN TO 5 DIFFERENT MECHANICS AND THEY ARE ALL AWARE OF THESE ENGINE PROBLEMS. I WAS STRANDED 150 MILES FROM HOME, IT WAS GRADUATION WK-END SO NO HOTEL ROOMS AND NO RENTAL CARS AVAILABLE. I WAS OUTSIDE OF KIRKSVILLE MO. AND HAD TO RIDE WITH A STRANGER TO GET TO SOMEWHERE THAT I COULD PHONE SINCE MY CELL PHONE WAS OUT OF RADUIS. *AK
