Consumer Description

MY SON BOUGHT HIS FIST CAR, A USED 2001 CHRYSLER SEBRING WITH THE 2.7 ENGINE. DAY TWO OF DRIVING THE CAR HE BLEW THE MOTOR. DEALER SAYS HE CAN'T FIND A REPLACEMENT MOTOR SO I TALKED TO MY MECHANIC ABOUT IT AND HE SAID THE 2.7 CHRYSLER MOTOR HAS A PROBLEM WITH OIL SLUDGE THAT CAUSES THE MOTOR TO FAIL. IT IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM. NOW MY SON IS MAKING CAR PAYMENTS ON A CAR THAT ISN'T FIXABLE. *TR
