ENGINE
I WON A CAR FROM MY LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALER. THE CAR HAD A 2.7L V6 ENGINE IN IT THAT NADA AND KBB DO NOT LIST SUCH AN ENGINE IN THIS TYPE OF CAR THAT I WON, SO I CAN ONLY ASSUME IT WAS A DEALER SWAP PRIOR TO THE RAFFLE DRAWING, BUT THEY DENY THE SWAP WHEN I CALLED THEM ABOUT THIS INCIDENT. WHEN I WON IT, LAST JUNE IT HAD LIKE 181,000 MILES ON THE CAR, UNKNOWN MILEAGE ON THE ENGINE, BUT I HAD IT FROM JUN TO DEB 2016 AND DROVE IT MAYBE 9000 MILES MAX AND IT FAILED WITHOUT WARNING. I CHANGED THE OIL EVERY 3000 TO 4000 MILES, SO LIKE 2-3 TIMES SINCE I HAVE HAD THE CAR AND IT HAD NO INDICATION OF ANY ENGINE PROBLEMS PRIOR TO SPONTANEOUS AND COMPLETE ENGINE FAILURE. I HAVE MY CARS SERVICES REGULARLY FOR TIRE ROTATIONS, CAR INSPECTIONS ETC. NOTHING COULD HAVE WARNED ME ABOUT THIS AND I HAD NO IDEA ABOUT THE CLASS ACTIONS LAW SUITS PERTAINING TO THIS EXACT ENGINE UNTIL MY ENGINE FAILED A FEW MONTHS AGO. I CLIMBING TH INTERSTATE ON RAMP WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE RPM'S ON MY CAR CONTINUED TO RISE WHILE MY CAR WAS SLOWING DOWN, IN ESSENSE IT WAS REVING AS I ACCELLERATED, BUT MY CAR WAS SLOWING, SO I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND ATTEMPTED TO RESTART MY CAR, NOTHING HAPPENED, SO I HAD IT TOWED TO A LOCAL MECHANIC, WHEN IT GOT BACK TO THE SHOP, THE CAR STARTED BACK UP AS NORMAL, BUT I LEFT IT ANYWAY, BECAUSE IT CLEARLY HAD AN ISSUE. IT WAS DISCOVERED AFTER THE MECHANIC DROVE IT THAT THE OIL LIGHT CAME ON AND THE ENGINE LOST OIL PRESSURE. THERE WAS PLENTY OF GOOD OIL IN THE TANK, WHEN IT WAS CHECKED AND BASED ON THE LEVEL THERE WAS NO NEED TO ADD OIL. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE ENGINE WAS SEIZING UP DUE TO OIL SLUDGE AND THAT MY ONLY FIX IS A NEW ENGINE.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON I TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL REPAIR SHOP TO BE CHECKED THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING AND RESET THE LIGHT. A FEW DAYS LATER THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON AND THE CAR STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIWAY. I WAS ABLE TO GET IT BACK TO THE REPAIR SHOP WHERE THEY ARE WORKING TO FIND THE ISSUE AT THIS TIME. THEY HAVE CHANGED THE SPARK PLUGS AND A SENSOR BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT THE READER SAID TO DO BUT THE CAR IS STILL DYING AND HAS REDUCED SPEED.

ENGINE
I WAS DRIVING AND WITH OUT WARNING A LOUD NOISE STARTED. THE CAR STOPPED ON THE CITY STREET AND COULD NOT BE MOVED. I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. THIS WAS AN UNSAFE CONDITION. THE CAR WAS PUSHED TO THE CURVE OUT OF THE TRAFFIC..WITHOUT WARNING THE ENGINE PARTS BROKE DOWN. I HAD THE CAR TOLLED TO A STATION TO GET IT FIXED. I HAD TO REPLACED THE TIMING BELT, TIMING BELT TENSIONER, WATER PUMP, ANTI-FREEZE, SERPENTINE BELT, THIS COST $1,822.28.THAT WAS 09/28/2016. I HAD ONLY 74,708 MILES ON THE CAR, NOT 100,00. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT KEPT COMING ON. ON 11/07/16, AT A CHRYSLER DEALER, I HAD A DIAGNOSED TEST DONE. THE TECH FOUND THAT THE RIGHT CYLINDER HEAD NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE CAR HAD ONLY 75,209 MILES. NOT 100,00 MILES. IS THIS TO SOON FOR THOSE PARTS TO BREAK DOWN AND NEED TO BE REPLACED? I ALWAYS HAD MY CAR CHECK AT THE CHRYSLER DEALER FOR THE CHECK UPS AT THE RECORMENDED TIME. I RECEIVED NO WARNING THAT ANY OF THESE PARTS NEEDED TO BE CHANGED. NO WARNING. THE CAR JUST STOPPED. THIS IS DANGEROUS. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS CAR. I HAD JUST GOT OFF THE BELTWAY. I COULD HAD BEEN KILLED. THE REPLACEMENT OF THE RIGHT REAR CYLINDER HEAD IS GOING TO COST AROUND $5,000 DOLLARS. I DON'T HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY. THIS CAR SHOULD BE RECALLED THAT WITHOUT WARNING THESE PARTS WILL BRECK AND STOP THE CAR FROM RUNNING. I BROUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW, NOT USED, AND I ALWAYS TOOK MY CAR TO CHRYSLER COMPANY FOR THE REGULAR CHECK UP I HAVE THE REPAIR INVOICE AND THE DIAGNOIS REPORT, BUT I CAN'T SCAN THEM. I CAN FAX OR MAIL YOU A COPY. UPDATED 03/15/17*LJ *CN

AIR BAGS, SERVICE BRAKES, SEAT BELTS
POSSIBLE TAKATA RECALL!!! WHILE COMING DOWN AND AROUND A CORNER ON A HIGHWAY THERE WAS A CAR TURNING AND I DID NOT HAVE ENOUGH TIMES TO STOP. WHICH CAUSED ME TO REAREND THE OTHER VEHICLE. IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL DAY SO WE HAD MY 2006 CHRYSLER SEBRING CONVERTIBLE TOP DOWN. I WAS DRIVING WHILE MY 15 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WAS IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. MY12 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER DIRECTLY BEHIND HER AND MY 7 YEAR OLD NIECE BEHIND ME. THE FRONT AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. MY 15 YEAR OLD WHOM WAS WEARING HER SEATBELT WAS THROWN FORWARD DUE TO HER SEATBELT LOCKING MECHANISM NOT LOCKING. THANKFULLY THE SEATBELT EVENTUALLY CAUGHT HER BY THE RIGHT THIGH SAVING HER FROM BEING EJECTED FROM THE VEHICLE. SHE SUBSTAINED WHAT COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN A LIFE THREATENING LACERATION TO LEFT SIDE (BUT MORE TOWARDS THE MIDDLE) OF HER FOREHEARD DIRECTLY ABOVE HER LEFT EYEBROW. THE LACERATION WAS 8CM, THE SHAPE OF A CROSS, AND IT WAS 3 LAYERS DEEP. MY YOUNGER DAUGHTER WHOM WAS DIRECTLY BEHIND HER HAD A PATCH OF SKIN ON TOP OF HER LEFT FOOT THAT WAS CUT OFF. WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF GETTING SOMEONE TO COME AND TAKE A LOOK AT THE VEHICLE BEFORE THE INSURANCE COMPANY GETS RID OF IT IN THE NEXT WEEK. WE ARE NOT SURE IF MY 15 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER'S HEAD WAS CUT FROM AIRBAG SHRAPNEL FLYING OUT SINCE THE SIZE, SHAPE, AND LOCATION OF THE LASERATION IS THE SAME SIZE, SHAPE AND LOCATION ON ONE OF THE BIGGER TRAKATA AIR BAG INJURIES THAT IS OUT THERE PUBLICLY. OR IF HER INJURY WAS DUE TO HER HITTING HER HEAD ON SOMETHING DUE TO THE FACT THAT HER SEATBELT LOCKING MECHANISM WAS NOT WORKING. EITHER WAY THIS NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO BEFORE SOMEONE ELSE IS INJURED OR WORSE YET KILLED... PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS...* THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT WOULD GO ON EVERY ONCE AND AWHILE BUT WOULD THEN GO OFF WHEN YOU MOVED THE PASSENGER CHAIR BACK OR FORTH. THE SAME PROBLEM THE 2010 CHRYSLER SEBRING CONVERTIBLES ARE JUST NOW RECALLING.
