Consumer Description

MY CHRYSLER PACIFICA 2007 AWD WITH A 4.0 ENGINE USES EXCESSIVE OIL. I DID NOT KNOW THIS. DUE TO THE CAR USING OIL-NO LEAKING, I NEARLY BLEW MY ENGINE. MY OIL LIGHT CAME ON TOO LATE WITH ONLY ABOUT 1 QT OF OIL REMAINING. SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR A YEAR OLD AND IT IS PAST 36000 MILES, I AM STUCK WITH REPAIRS DUE TO A FAULTY ENGINE. THE CAR IS AT THE MECHANIC WHO SAID IT HAS METAL IN THE OIL FROM THE ORDEAL AND MAY NEED THE WHOLE ENGINE REPLACED OR REBUILT. THIS MAY COST 1/2 WHAT THE CAR IS WORTH AND I STILL OWE PAYMENTS FOR 4 MORE YEARS. I HAVE CHECKED ONLINE FORUMS AND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE AWD MODELS, ESPECIALLY BUILT IN CANADA LIKE MINE. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THESE REPAIRS. THIS IS $40K VEHICLE. AT THE VERY LEAST THE ENGINE SHOULD LAST MORE THAN 5 YEARS. MY CAR IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD AND I'M STUCK WITH BILLS I CAN'T AFFORD OR PAYING PAYMENTS ON A CAR I CAN'T DRIVE. *TR
