Consumer Description

My son was driving his car which is a 2013 Chrysler 200 when the engine suddenly began to knock loudly and then the car shut off in traffic. There were no breaks or steering which nearly resulted in my son having an accident. He was able to get the car pulled to the side. Then we had the car towed to the shop. The mechanics said the dipstick showed no and that the knock was the result of an engine failure due to no oil in the oil pan. There was excessive debris in the small amount of oil that remained in the oil pan. The mechanic said that the debris came from bearings that have worn away. The engine is not repairable. It was noted that there was a recall on 2013 Chrysler 200 vehicles for this very same problem. However the recall for some reason excluded this specific car. Apparently the recall did not go far enough to cover all the cars affected.
