Consumer Description

HELLO, I WOULD JUST LIKE TO TAKE THE TIME TO EXPLAIN THE SITUATION WITH MY YEAR 2000 CHRYSLER CONCORDE LX. I AM A COLLEGE STUDENT AND I PURCHASED THIS CAR ROUGHLY A YEAR AND A HALF AGO WITH 41,000 MILES ON IT. THE CARFAX VEHICLE REPORT STATED THAT THE CAR HAD PERFECT ROUTINE MAINTENANCE AND IT WAS OWNED BY ONE FEMALE OWNER OVER THE COURSE OF ITS LIFE. AFTER OWNING THE CAR I NOW HAVE ABOUT 65,000 MILES ON THIS CAR, WITH PERFECT ROUTINE MAINTENANCE. I AM EXPERIENCING THE SYMPTOMS OF THE ENGINE SLUDGE PROBLEM THAT THESE 2.7 LITER ENGINES EXPERIENCE. MY RPMS ARE DROPPING TO LOW REVS AT IDLE, AND MY MECHANIC SAYS THAT THE ENGINE WILL EVENTUALLY SEIZE WHILE DRIVING. AT THIS POINT I NO LONGER DRIVE THE VEHICLE AND LEAVE IT STATIONARY IN MY PARENTS GARAGE. TO REPLACE THESE ENGINES THEY COST AROUND 4,000 - 10,000 DOLLARS. THAT IS MORE THAN THE PRICE OF THE VEHICLE ITSELF. THERE IS CLEARLY A DEFECT IN THE ENGINE DESIGN, AND ANY QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH CAN SHOW THIS. THERE ARE HUNDREDS UPON THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE IN PUBLIC FORUMS AND ENGINE ORIENTED WEBSITES. I ONLY HOPE THAT THIS ORGANIZATION INVESTIGATES THIS SITUATION, AND TAKES IT SERIOUSLY. *TR
