| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Oil was changed every 3000 miles. no warning lights or any type of warning when my engine failed after only 43,000 miles. it is a 2001 chrysler sebring sedan. after researching i found that these engines 2.7 liter found in the sebring and intrepid are prone to sludge and premature failure. my warranty was up at 36,000 miles and i am going back and forth trying to get some help with these repairs consisting of $4988.45. a new engine should not be needed in a vehicle with 43,000 miles. (and i am not the only one) i have spoken to 5 different mechanics and they are all aware of these engine problems. i was stranded 150 miles from home, it was graduation wk-end so no hotel rooms and no rental cars available. i was outside of kirksville mo. and had to ride with a stranger to get to somewhere that i could phone since my cell phone was out of raduis. *ak |
