Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING MY 2001 CHRSYLER SEBRING ALL OF SUDDEN KNOCKING AND TAPPING NOISE STARTED. PROCEEDED TO PULL OVER AND TURNED THE CAR OFF. ATTEMPTED TO RESTART VEHICLE AND IT WOULD NOT START. CALL TOWING COMPANY AND HAD IT TOWED TO CHRSYLER DEALERSHIP. PAID FOR DIAGNOSTICS AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS ENGINE FAILURE DUE TO OIL SLUG. CAR IS INOPERABLE. THIS 2.7L ENGINE HAS BEEN KNOWN FOR ENGINE FAILURE AND CHRSYLER INDICATED THAT IT WAS DUE TO LACK OF MAINTENANCE. OIL CHANGES WERE MADE ACCORDING TO THE OWNERS MANUAL AND THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE OCCURRED.*CN
