Consumer Description

ENGINE BEGAN MAKING A CLICKING SOUND WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 55MPH. ASE CERTIFIED MASTER TECHNICIAN LOOKED AT THE VEHICLE AND SAID THAT I NEED A NEW ENGINE AS IT IS ABOUT TO CEASE UP DUE TO OIL SLUDGE BUILD-UP WHICH IS COMMON IN THIS PARTICULAR ENGINE. I MAITAINED MY VEHICLE WITH ROUTINE OIL CHANGES AND SERVICES THROUGH MY FATHER, WHO IS AN ASE CERTIFIED MASTER TECHNICIAN FOR OVER 35 YEARS. I FEEL THAT DAIMLERCHRYSLER CORPORATION SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THESE DEFFECTIVE ENGINES.*AK
