| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I have a 2001 chrysler sebring with the 2.7 liter v6 engine. it has recently experienced engine problems up to and will probably include complete engine failure from oil sludging in the engine. the oil was changed every 5000 miles and we have documentation of these oil changes. the car only has 29500 miles right now. i contacted chrysler and they said that they can not warrant the product because it is out of their warranty period. they even went as far as to say that even if it is a manufacturing defect they can't be held responsible because the car is out of warranty. so basically i am just reporting to you my complaint. i know you probably have received hundreds of other complaints regarding this same issue with this engine. please urge chrysler to extend their warranties or offer a recall. i have never heard of an engine failing because of oil sludge with only 29500 miles on it. thanks, joe raguse. *nm |
