| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I was driving on the i -5 northbound to oceanside, when i started hearing a clacking/clunking noise from the engine. i pulled in towards the nearest gas station and checked the oil levels for the car, which were fine. i drove another 2 miles and started to exit the freeway when a total power loss to the engine occurred. i managed to recover control of the vehicle, and parked it in a parking lot where it was towed to my place of residence. the next day i had it towed to a mechanic and was told that the engine needed to be replaced. i had just replaced the oil 2,000 miles ago, and was perplexed. the oil light had been on intermittently, but oil levels were fine, i was told this was probably due to a failed sensor. i am young and have just started a family, with a newly born infant who could have been involved in an accident. from further research, i have found 1000s of incidents similar to my own concerning the 2.7 liter engine, and implore chrysler to recall this engine. *jb |
