Was Vehicle Towed: -	Description of the Complaints: I have a new 2006 chrysler pt cruiser limited. it has approx 4200 miles on it. last weekend it started heavily leaking oil from the front of the engine. the oil level was down almost 3 quarts when i discovered it, and still no indication on the dashboard. i took the car to town & country chrysler in levittown ny ,monday morning. tuesday they diagnose the main cam seal had burst. they believe it was caused by an incorrect bore size on the block. they will have to install a new engine block in the car. if the diagnoses is correct, engine blocks to my knowledge are not bored out by hand , but by robotics . therefore i am certain my isn't or won't be the only complaint..this might be a quality control issue. *jb
