Consumer Description

THIS WAS THE SECOND FAILURE OF CHRYSLER'S 2.7 V-6 ENGINE. NEITHER ENGINE FAILURE WARRANTY WAS UPHELD BY PROVIDERS. FIRST ONE WAS AT 49000 MILES AND FAILED DUE TO ENGINE SLUDGE, EXTENDED WARRANTY WAS NOT HONORED DUE TO OWNER NEGLECT, EVEN THOUGH I PROVIDED ALL RECEIPTS FOR ALL OIL CHANGES REQUIRED. THIS PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE COMMON FOR PREMATURE FAILURE OF THIS ENGINE. I PURCHASED A NEW ENGINE AND 3 YEARS AND 14000 MILES ANOTHER FAILURE OCCURRED. THIS TIME NO REASON COULD BE FOUND FOR THE FAILURE AND IN SPITE OF MECHANICS STATEMENT THAT ALL FLUIDS WERE PRESENT AT TIME OF ENGINE REMOVAL TO BE SHIPPED FOR INSPECTION, IT WAS DETERMINED TO BE OWNER CAUSED AND WARRANTY NOT HONORED. CURRENTLY ENGINE IS BEING EXAMINED BY A THIRD PARTY INDEPENDENT FACILITY TO DETERMINE CAUSE FOR A FUTURE LEGAL ACTION. *TR
