Consumer Description

2002 CHRYSLER SEBRING WITH 2.7L V6 ENGINE. ENGINE HAS NOT FAILED YET, BUT ONLY BECAUSE I NO LONGER DRIVE CAR FOR FEAR ENGINE WILL SEIZE WHILE I'M DRIVING, CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. OIL LIGHT STARTED FLICKERING BEGINNING OF AUG. 2009; REPLACED OIL PRESSURE SWITCH, WHICH DID NOT RESOLVE PROBLEM; MECHANIC RECOMMENDED REPLACING OIL PUMP; AFTER RESEARCHING, DISCOVERED OIL SLUDGE ISSUE, WHICH I AM 100% POSITIVE IS THE PROBLEM WITH MY SEBRING. 87,000 MILES ON CAR; HAVE CHANGED OIL EVERY 3,000 MILES; MORE OFTEN THAN RECOMMENDED BY CHRYSLER. *TR
