Consumer Description

I HAD MY CAR OIL CHANGED REGULARLY, WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, I HEARD A LOUD KNOCKING SOUND. I TOOK IT TO AN INDEPENDENT SHOP, WHO INFORMED ME THAT THE TIMING CHAIN TENSIONERS BROKE, AFTER THEY GOT THE ENGINE APART, IT WAS SO SLUDGED UP AND IMPOSSIBLE TO FIX. SAID THIS WAS THE REASON, THERE WAS NO OTHER WARNING THAT SOMETHING WAS WRONG. MY WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED 6 MOS. PREVIOUSLY, WHEN I CALLED CHRYSLER THEY SAID IT WAS NOT THEIR PROBLEM. I WAS LUCKY TO BE ABLE TO BORROW FUNDS TO PAY $6,000.00 FOR A NEW ENGINE, AS I HAVE A PHYSICAL HANDICAP I REQUIRE A VEHICLE,AND HAD THIS HAPPENED IN THE COUNTRY , IT WOULD HAVE BEEN WORSE BECAUSE I CANNOT WALK ANY DISTANCE. THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THESE WERE A FAULTY ENGINE AND SHOULD HAVE MAYBE HAD A RECALL. *TR
