NHTSA Complaint #10346522 — 2005 CHRYSLER 300

MY CARS ENGINE STARTED CLACKING AND SMOKING FOR SEVERAL DAYS - THEN THE ENGINE STARTED SHAKING AND WOULD DIE DOWN AND ALMOST STOP WHEN DRIVING. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE AUTO SHOP AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY WOULD NOT HONOR MY WARRANTY BECAUSE THERE WAS A LOT OF SLUDGE IN THE ENGINE AND I HAD NOT CHANGED THE OIL ON A REGULAR BASIS. MY HUSBAND KEPT UP TO DATE ON ALL CHANGES OF OIL. IT IS A 2.7 ENGINE MADE BY CHRYSLER MANUFACTURE WITH 78,844 MILES AND THE WARRANTY IS UP TO 80K MILES. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THE AG'S OFFICE IN BOSTON, MA WHERE I LIVE AND CALLED CHRYSLER TO TELL THEM THAT I KNOW ABOUT THE 2.7ENGINE SLUDGE PROBLEM. THE AG IS INVESTIGATING IT WHILE MY CAR IS CURRENTLY AT THE CHRYSLER SERVICE CENTER WAITING FOR ME TO GO AND GET IT BACK. I ALSO HAVE SUSPENSION PROBLEMS; HORN DOES NOT WORK, AIR BAG CONTROL SENSOR PROBLEMS, STRUTS REPLACED, AND MANY, MANY, MORE ALONG THE YEARS. THE ENGINE IS A 2.7 ENGINE. I WANT MY WARRANTY HONORED AS I CANNOT ASSIST MY DISABLED DAUGHTER UNLESS I WORK AND HAVE TRANSPORTATION FOR BOTH HER AND MYSELF. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO - I AM CURRENTLY SENDING AS MUCH INFORMATION ON COMPLAINTS OF THIS NATURE TO THE ATTY GEN OFFICE AS THEY REQUESTED. CAN YOU HELP ME? *TR
