Consumer Description

I REGULARLY MAINTAIN THE OIL IN MY CAR, YET THE OIL SEEMS TO DISAPPEAR. I ADD OIL IN BETWEEN CHANGES AND THE TECHNICIANS AT THE OIL CHANGE HAVE NEVER SEEN ANY LEAKS. I CONTINUED TO DRIVE AND NOTICED A KNOCK IN THE ENGINE. I CHECKED THE OIL, AND IT WAS LOW. I WAS NOT DUE FOR A CHANGE, SO I PUT OIL IN THE ENGINE. THE KNOCK CONTINUED UNTIL ONE DAY IT BECAME AN AWFUL SOUND, AND SHUT OFF. I HAD THE CAR TOWED BACK TO MY HOUSE WHERE IT HAS SAT FOR A MONTH. I HAD A MECHANIC DIAGNOSE ,Y CAR AND HE SAID IT WAS A ROD, AND THAT I NEEDED A NEW ENGINE. I HAVE NOTICED WHERE SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE CHRYSLER 2.7 VALVE ENGINE. I DO NOT FEEL THAT THIS IS MY PROBLEM, ESPECIALLY IF CHRYSLER HAS A FAULTY PRODUCT. *TR
