Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: In june of 2005, my 2001 chrysler sebring convertible engine start making this loud noise like a rod was going to go. i turned it off had the car taken to a local dealer and they said i had sludge in the engine. when i asked for the service manager to explain sludge to me about me not changing my oil and not properly having the car serviced. it was at that time i had the car towed back to my house, where it has been sitting. on february 6th i went to my attorneys office and he sent chrysler a letter(certified) that i want them to fix my car and/or we will be filing a class action case in the franklin county of ohio courts against them. i have contacted chrysler personally and they all but said i caused the problem. after having talked with some mechanics and looking at the inter-net i now know this was not an isolated case.*jb
