NHTSA Complaint #10295228 — 2004 CHRYSLER SEBRING CONVERTIBLE

I PURCHASED A 2004 CHRYSLER SEBRING CONVERTIBLE ON DECEMBER 25, 2008. THE FIRST COUPLE OF MONTHS AFTER I PURCHASED MY CAR THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY FIXED THE PROBLEM AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE. AFTER ANOTHER 1 MONTH OR SO THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN SO I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER. PER THE DEALER I ONLY HAD 3 MONTHS OF WARRANTY THEREFORE THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. AT THE TIME OF THE PURCHASED THE PERSON WHO SOLD THE CAR TO ME STATED I HAD 1 YEAR OF WARRANTY AND IT TURNED OUT I ONLY HAD 3 MONTHS OF WARRANTY. I OF COURSE COMPLAINT BECAUSE THAT'S NOT WHAT THEY SAID IN THE BEGINNING AT THE TIME OF THE PURCHASE. AFTER THAT DAY I WENT BACK HOME AND DECIDED TO GO BACK TO THE DEALER THE NEXT DAY AND THEY HAD CLOSED THE DEALER PER THEY WERE ALREADY OUT OF BUSINESS. THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD DO AFTER THAT. ON AUGUST 2, 2009 MY CAR STARTED MAKING A KNOCKING NOISE I TOOK THE CAR TO THE MECHANIC AND HE STATED A NEW ENGINE NEEDED TO BE INSTALLED PER THE ENGINE WAS COMPLETELY GONE OUT OF NO WHERE. I HAD 3 OTHER MECHANICS LOOK AT MY CAR AND THEY ALSO STATED A NEW ENGINE NEEDED TO BE PUT IN. SO NOW IM STUCK WITH MY CAR LOAN IN WHICH I STILL OWE ABOUT $6000 AND I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO DRIVE MY CAR FOR ABOUT 4 MONTHS NOW PER IT COST TOO MUCH TO REPLACE. WHAT SHOULD I DO IN THIS CASE? PLEASE HELP. *TR
