Consumer Description

WHILE IDLING AT A STOP LIGHT AN OFFICER OF THE LAW WAS BEHIND ME AS THE LIGHT CHANGE I MADE MY WAY TO MY DESTINATION ONLY TO BE STOPPED BY SAID OFFICER. HE STATED THAT WHEN I PULLED AWAY AT THE LIGHT THERE WAS A BIG SMOKE TRAIL LEAVING MY EXHAUST. I INFORMED HIM OF THE MANY TROUBLES WITH THE 2.7L CHRYSLER ENGINE HE INFORMED ME THAT IF I CONTINUE TO DRIVE I WOULD BE CITED FOR EPA VIOLATIONS. THE CAR HAS 80,432 MILES AND HAS BEEN BURNING OIL AT A CONSTANT RATE. NOW THE OIL PRESSURE SENDING UNIT IS LEAKING ALSO WHICH BY READING SOME COMPLAINTS IS WHAT HAPPENS JUST BEFORE TOTAL BREAKDOWN. SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS WILL COST APRX. $2600 TO REBUILD ENGINE. *TR
