Consumer Description

2004 CHRYSLER SEBRING LIMITED. OIL SLUDGE IN ENGINE LED TO ENGINE FAILURE AT 50,000 MILES. THIS CAR WAS PERFECTLY MAINTAINED, INCLUDING REGULAR OIL CHANGES AND OTHER MAINTENANCE. THE ENGINE SHOULD NOT HAVE FAILED. APPARENTLY THIS IS A CHRONIC PROBLEM WITH THESE CARS. MY MOTHER WAS STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY ROAD WHEN THIS HAPPENED. SHE HAD JUST HAD DENTAL SURGERY THE DAY BEFORE AND WAS RECOVERING FROM A SEVERE INFECTION. SHE HAD TO SIT IN 98 DEGREE TEMPERATURES FOR MANY HOURS AFTER HAVING TO PUSH THE CAR TO A SAFE SPOT. THE CAR WAS ALMOST HIT BY OTHER CARS AS SHE PUSHED IT AND SHE SUFFERED HEAT EXHAUSTION AND OTHER PROBLEMS AS A RESULT OF THE INCIDENT. WE HAVE NOT YET BEEN ABLE TO FIX THE CAR AS IT WILL REQUIRE COMPLETE REPLACEMENT OF THE ENGINE. *TR
