Consumer Description

I OWN A 2004 DODGE STRATUS THAT I CHANGED THE OIL IN EVERY 3500 - 4000 MILES EVEN THOUGH THE MANUFACTURER RECOMMENDS CHANGES AT 7500 MILE INTERVALS. THE CAR HAD ROUGHLY 37000 MILES ON IT BACK IN 2006 WHEN THE 2.7L V6 ENGINE SEIZED DUE TO EXCESSIVE OIL SLUDGING CAUSING AN OIL FLOW FAILURE. AT THE TIME I JUST THOUGHT IT WAS BAD LUCK, BUT NOW AFTER TWO YEARS I READ OF COUNTLESS THOUSANDS OF CASES WHERE PERSONS WITH THE SAME 2.7L ENGINE IN THERE DODGE OR CHRYSLER VEHICLES HAD ENGINES SEIZE, AND YET THE COMPANY DOES NOTHING FOR US. I STILL HAVE THE VEHICLE IN MY DRIVEWAY BUT FRANKLY CANNOT AFFORD TO PUT A NEW MOTOR IN IT AS THE PRICE FOR THOSE IS SKY HIGH BECAUSE THERE IS SUCH A DEMAND TO REPLACE THEM. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS AS A CONSUMER WE DESERVE RETRIBUTION FOR THESE EXPENSIVE ENGINEERING FAILURES. *TR
