NHTSA Complaint #10359885 — 2005 CHRYSLER SEBRING

MY VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT JULY 2010, DAMAGE WAS TO THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE. UPON PICKING UP CAR I COMPLAINED OF AN ENGINE KNOCK AND AXLE NOISE. GEICO DETERMINED THIS WAS NOT DUE TO THE ACCIDENT. I WAS TOLD TO TAKE MY CAR BACK TO WHERE THE AXLE WAS REPLACED IN APRIL 2010 BY PEP BOYS. WHILE WAITING TO BE SEEN BY AN ADJUSTER FROM GEICO, MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. I THEN HAD MY BATTERY AND STARTER REPLACED BY PEP BOYS. MY VEHICLE STILL HAD ENGINE KNOCK WHICH GEICO SAID WAS NOT CAUSE BY ACCIDENT. I THEN HAD MY CAR TAKEN TO A REPAIR SHOP WHERE THEY DIAGNOSED AN OIL PUMP PROBLEM. THEY LATER DETERMINED BEFORE REPLACING THE OIL PUMP THAT THERE WERE METAL SHAVINGS IN OIL PAN. THEY INSPECTED MY ENGINE BLOCK AND DETERMINE THAT ENGINE BLOCK WAS CLEAN DUE TO MY USE OF SYNTHETIC OIL, BUT WAS NOT OPERABLE. THE WARRANTY REGARDING THIS WAS NOT COVERED FOR THIS BY CHRYSLER. *TR
