Consumer Description

I DRIVE A 2001 CHRYSLER SEBRING. I AM STILL UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY (FEWER THAN 80,000 MILES). THE ENGINE, 2.7L, FAILED ON 2/7/08 WITH ABSOLUTELY NO WARNING. IT WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS MY FAULT BECAUSE I DID NOT PROPERLY MAINTAIN THE VEHICLE. CHRYSLER HAS ALREADY PUBLICLY ADMITTED THAT THIS ENGINE IS FAULTY WHICH CAN CAUSE PREMATURE ENGINE FAILURE. YET, CHRYSLER IS QUICK TO POINT THE FINGER AT ME. I WAS TOLD TO GATHER ALL OF MY OIL-CHANGE RECEIPTS (FROM 2002 - 2008) AND FORWARD TO CHRYSLER FOR RECONSIDERATION. FIRST OF ALL, IF THE ENGINE IS FAULTY FROM THE BEGINNING, HOW CAN I BE JUDGED FOR PROPERLY MAINTAINING AN INFERIOR PRODUCT? WHAT TYPE OF GUIDELINES DOES ONE FOLLOW FOR TAKING CARE OF A FAULTY ENGINE? *TR
