Consumer Description

MY CHRYSLER 300C HAS 114,805 MILES ON IT. I DROVE IT TO THE GAS STATION BEFORE GOING HOME. FILLED IT UP WITH GAS. WENT TO START IT UP AND IT WOULDN'T. I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE SHOP. THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE LAST NIGHT WAS 63. THE ENGINE TEMPERATURE WAS NORMAL. THERE WERE NO WARNING SIGNS. THE CAR DROVE FINE ALL THE WAY FROM MY OFFICE TO THE GAS STATION WHICH IS 33 MILES. MECHANIC SAYS THE VALVE SEAT HAS DROPPED AND THE ENGINE IS COMPLETELY RUINED NOW. I NOW HAVE TO PAY ALMOST $7,000 TO GET MY CAR DRIVEABLE AGAIN.
