Consumer Description

ENGINE FAILURE, OIL LIGHT COMES ON. CHRYSLER HAS INSTALLED A MITSUBISHI ENGINE IN SEBRING MODEL 2001. THIS ENGINE HAS HAD NUMEROUS PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH OIL BLOCKAGE. THEY CALL IT SLUDGE. THIS IS A DESIGN FAILURE IN THE ABILITY FOR THE ENGINE TO MAINTAIN RELIABLE OIL PRESSURE TO THE TOTAL ENGINE COMPONENTS AND HAS CAUSE NUMEROUS ENGINE REPLACEMENTS. IT IS A HAZARD FOR THESE VEHICLES TO BE ON THE ROAD. MITSUBISHI HAS A VOLUNTARY PROGRAM TO SUPPORT REPLACEMENT FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND. *TR
