| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I have a 2000 chrysler concorde with the 2.7l engine. recently the engine began knocking very bad. i took it to a mechanic and he told me the engine is going to seize up, and not to drive it. he recommended replacing the engine or at least a rebuild. he then proceded to inform me about how problamatic the 2.7l engine is, and it fails quite frequently without warning! he was surprised that mine has lasted this long. he said mine is failing prematurely as with most other consumers who have this engine. he mentioned engine sludge as the most probable cause, even though the oil is changed approximately every 4 months! |
