Consumer Description

AT 30,987 MILES, MY 2004 CHRYSLER CONVERTIBLE 2.7L V6 ENGINE SEIZED UP WHILE I WAS DRIVING IN THE HIGH SPEED LANE OF INTERSTATE RT 95 IN PHILADELPHIA, PA. I HAD JUST LEFT PHILA. CITY AND WAS DRIVING ONLY 5-10 MINS WHEN THIS HAPPENED. THERE WAS NO WARNING, NO ENGINE LIGHT OR OIL LIGHT CAME ON. THE CAR JUST DIED. LUCKILY TRAFFIC WAS VERY LIGHT AND I COULD COAST SAFELY OVER TO THE BREAKDOWN LANE. ENDED UP AFTER TOWING TO LOCAL SHOP OF PEPBOYS AND THEN AGAIN TO A 5-STAR CHRYSLER DEALER, THE ENGINE WAS DIAGNOSED AS FREEZING UP DUE TO SLUDGE IN OIL. HAD TO REPLACE WHOLE ENGINE AT COST OF $4,855 ON A VIRTUALLY BRAND NEW CAR. WARRANTY COVERAGE DENIED SINCE I COULD NOT PROVIDE PROOF OF OIL CHANGES THROUGH RECEIPTS. *JB
