NHTSA Complaint #10160475 — 2005 CHRYSLER 300

I CURRENTLY OWN AN 2005 CHRYSLER 300, WHICH IN TURN I AM NOW HAVING TO REPLACE AN ENTIRE ENGINE. MY CAR RECEIVES REGULAR MAINTENANCE AND IT GAVE ME NO SIGN OF FAILURE. I CONTACTED THE MANUF. FOR ASSISTANCE AND IT WAS A DEAD END, AS WELL AS THE OTHER CONSUMERS COMPLAINT ATTEMPTS. IN MY INVESTIGATION AS WELL AS MANY OTHERS THE OIL PUMP FOR A 2.7 IS TO SMALL FOR THE ENGINE, THEREFORE AS THE MILEAGE COMES TO OR EXCEEDS 60,000ML. THE ENGINE WILL CRASH. AS IN MY CASE I AM NOT THE FIRST OWNER THEREFORE I WAS TOLD BY THE MANUFACT. THAT THEY WOULDN'T GRANT ME ANY ASSISTANCE. IRONICALLY, CONSUMER ENGINES GIVE OUT AT THE TIME OF THERE EXCEEDED WARRANTY. *NM
