Consumer Description

MY 2005 DODGE STRATUS HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE CRANKSHAFT THAT KEEPS MOVING, WHICH IS CAUSING THE CRANK SEAL TO POP OUT, SO IT CAUSES OIL TO START POURING OUT. I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL DODGE DEALER, AND THEY SAID I NEED A NEW ENGINE. I HAD ALSO TOOK IT TO LOCAL MECHANICS MORE THEN ONCE TO TRY TO FIX THIS PROBLEM, BUT THE PROBLEM DOESN'T SEEM FIXIBLE. I DO BELIEVE THIS IS A MANUFACTURE PROBLEM, AND IT WASN'T CAUSE BY US DRIVING THIS CAR. MY WARRANTY EXPIRED IN JAN/2010. *TR
