Consumer Description

DRIVING ON HIGHWAY WHEN ENGINE SUDDENLY STARTED MAKING TICKING NOISES, THEN EVENTUALLY CHOKING AND THEN QUIT. COULDN'T GET IT STARTED, HAD IT TOWED TO MECHANIC WHO SAID ONLY 2 QTS OF OIL IN ENGINE. OIL LIGHT NEVER CAME ON, NO WARNING WHATSOEVER. CHANGED OIL AND MECHANIC SAID THERE WAS STILL A TICKING NOISE THAT WOULDN'T GO AWAY AND ENGINE WAS PROBABLY "TOAST" AND THEY COULD DO NOTHING TO REPAIR IT, REPLACEMENT WOULD BE ONLY OPTION. CAR IS NOW SITTING BECAUSE IT DOESN'T RUN CORRECTLY AND ENGINE MOST PROBABLY RUINED, P1391 CODE (CAMSHAFT OR CAM) PROBLEM. READ ABOUT MANY OTHER 2.7L ENGINE PROBLEMS AND IT WAS SUGGESTED TO ME TO FILE A COMPLAINT WITH NHTSA BECAUSE IT WAS "INTERESTED" IN THE PROBLEM, HAVEN'T CALLED CHRYSLER BECAUSE I KNOW OF NO ONE WHO HAS HAD SUCCESS IN GETTING CHRYSLER TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. *NM
