Consumer Description

MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ONE MORNING WHEN 2001 2.7L V-6 STARTED TO CHUG, ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR DIED IMMEDIATELY. MY HUSBAND HAD TO PUSH TO SIDE OF ROAD. WE HAD IT TOWED LATER THAT MORNING TO MY PARENTS' HOUSE. ENGINE IS BLOWN OUT. I'VE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND THESE ENGINES ARE EXPENSIVE TO FIX WE HAVE ALWAYS DONE OUR MAINTENANCE AND NEVER HAD ANY WARNINGS SIGNS BEFORE HAND. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO STEP UP BECAUSE WE PAY MONEY FOR THEIR PRODUCT AND NOTHING IS HOLDING. IS THAT ALL WE GET OUT OF OUR CARS IS 75,000- 100,000 THEN NOBODY SHOULD BY CARS. THIS IS A SERIOUS SITUATION AND CHRYSLER NEEDS TO RECALL OR MAKE IT RIGHT BY OWNER. WE DID DO OUR REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE AND NOW WE SHOULD HAVE TO BASICALLY THROW THE CAR OUT. IT IS EXPENSIVE TO FIX. HELP US BECAUSE SOMEONE MAY GET INJURED WITH THESE KIND OF MISHAPS. *TR
