Consumer Description

THE 2001 CHRYSLER SEBRING WITH THE 2.7L ENGINE BURNT OUT. IT HAS 55,000 MILES ON IT. THE FIRST PROBLEM WAS WITH THE OIL LIGHT COMING ON. I TOOK IT TO KASING DODGE IN HERMITAGE PA. AND THEY SAID THAT IT WAS A WIRE AND FIXED IT FOR ALMOST 200 DOLLARS. A WEEK LATER THE ENGINE MADE NOISE THAT SOUNDED LIKE IT WOULD EXPLODE. I HAD TO TOWED TO KADING DODGE AGAIN AND THEY SAID THAT THE CRANKCASE BEARING BROKE FROM OIL STARVATION. THEY SAID THAT IT WOULD BE OVER 4000 DOLLARS TO PUT A NEW ENGINE IN. WHAT THEY DID INSTEAD WAS A FIX OF THE BROKEN BEARING WHICH COST ME ANOTHER 250 DOLLARS AND TOLD ME THAT MAY WORK FOR AWHILE BUT THEY WOULD NOT GUARANTEE THAT WORK. WELL IT DID NOT WORK. WHY DID THEY ONLY DO SAME JOBS THAT COST ME MONEY WHEN THEY ALL KNOW THAT CHRYSLER IS HAVING A POSSIBLE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST THEM FOR THIS VERY ENGINE? *TR
