Consumer Description

COMPLETE ENGINE FAILURE DUE TO BUILD UP OF SLUDGE AND BEARING MATERIAL IN OIL FILTER CAUSING TIMING CHAIN TO JUMP AND ENGINE TO FAIL. LUCKILY THIS HAPPENED AT THE AUTO REPAIR SHOP, NOT ON THE HIGHWAY, AS MANY OTHERS HAVE EXPERIENCED. HAVE LITERALLY FOUND HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET RELATING TO THE CHRYSLER 2.7L ENGINE AND ITS PROPENSITY TO FAIL. OUR 1999 CHRYSLER CONCORDE HAS LESS THAN 40,000 MILES AND HAS ALWAYS RECEIVED ROUTINE MAINTENANCE. WE WERE AMONG THE LUCKY ONES...OUR ENGINE FAILED WHILE BACKING OUT OF THE AUTO SHOP GARAGE...INSTEAD AT 65 MILES PER HOUR GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. INTERESTING HOW THERE ARE NO WARNING LIGHTS...NOTHING TO TELL YOU THIS IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN. *JB
