Consumer Description

I HAD OWNED MY 2000 CHRYSLER CONCORDE FOR APPROXIMATLY THREE YEARS WHEN THE ENGINE FAILED. THERE WAS LITTLE IF ANY WARNING OF THE FAILURE IN THE WAY OF DASHBOARD INDICATORS, ETC. WHEN DRIVING, THE ENGINE STALLED AND WOULD NOT START AGAIN. THE SERVICING MECHANIC ADVISED THAT A SLUDGE BUILD-UP IN THE OIL RESERVE HAD CAUSED A FAILURE OF THE ENGINE TO SUCH AN EXTENT THAT THE ENGINE HAD TO BE REPLACED. AFTER I INVESTIGATED FURTHER, I'VE SEEN OTHER SUCH COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE 2.7 LITER ENGINE THAT I HAD REPLACED. MANY OF THE COMPLAINTS POINT TO A TOO-NARROW OIL DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM IN THE ENGINE, THAT LEADS TO PREMATURE FAILURE. I BELIEVE THE ENGINE IS OF FAULTY DESIGN, AND IS UNFIT FOR DISTRIBUTION.*AK
