Consumer Description

I BOUGHT A USED 1998 CHRYSLER CONCORDE IN THE SPRING OF 2008. THREE WEEKS AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR THE OIL LIGHT TURNED ON, I THOUGHT NOTHING OF IT, THOUGH I GAVE THE CAR AN OIL CHANGE. ROUGHLY 5 DAYS AFTER GIVING THE CAR AN OIL CHANGE I DROVE IT AROUND FOR THE DAY AND THE OIL LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN, BUT THIS TIME WHEN I SHUT THE CAR OFF IT WOULDN'T START AGAIN. WHEN I DID GET THE CAR TO START I TOOK IT TO HARMON'S EXPERT AUTO TO SEE WHAT WAS WRONG WITH IT. I WAS THEN INFORMED THE CAR'S OIL PORTALS WERE CLOGGED DUE TO OIL SLUDGE. THE RECOMMENDED FIX WAS A NEW ENGINE. I WAS TOLD THE CAR HAD ONLY 15 POUNDS OF OIL PRESSURE AND THAT EVENTUALLY THE MOTOR WILL BLOW DUE TO THE OIL SLUDGE. LASTLY I WAS INFORMED THAT THEY SEE THIS PROBLEM ALL THE TIME WITH THE 2.7L ENGINE IN THE CHRYSLER CONCORDES, AND THAT THEY CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHY CHRYSLER WILL DO NOTHING ABOUT IT. NEITHER CAN I. *TR
