Consumer Description

MY CAR HAD JUST REACHED 100,000 MILES WHEN THE ENGINE STARTED TO MAKE A KNOCK SOUND. I HAD IT TOWED TO MY MECHANIC AND WAS INFORMED I WOULD NEED A NEW ENGINE . SEEMS THERE IS A PLASTIC COVER THAT IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THESE CARS. ONCE THIS HAPPENS REQUIRES A NEW ENGINE AND FACTS SHOW THAT A REPLACEMENT ENGINE WILL DO THE SAME THING WITHIN THE 70,000-100,000 MILE RANGE. I HAVE HAD THE CAR LESS THEN 2YRS. I CAN'T TRADE IT DUE TO OWING TOO MUCH. WHY IS CHRYLSER NOR BEING HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS KNOWN DEFECT. LOOK AT THE HISTORY. *TR
