ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
PROBLEMS WITH MY 1996 CHRYSLER SEBRING. IT GOES THRO TONS OF OIL, I KEEP HAVING TO ADD OIL TO THE CAR, EVERYTHING HAS BEEN BREAKING ON IT. NOW IT PERIODICALLY STALLS OUT NON STOP. THERE IS ONLY 85K MILES ON THE CAR AND IT SHOULD NOT BE HAVING THESE PROBLEMS. I HAVE PUT IN THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS INTO THIS CAR FOR REPAIRS. IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY BY CHRYSLER AND I TOOK IT IN FOR THE OIL ISSUE AND THEY SAID THEY SAW NO PROBLEM, THAT WARRANTY RAN OUT AND MY EXTENDED ONE KICKED IN AND THEY SAID IT HAD OIL LEAKS AND KEPT 'FIXING' THEM. ONCE THAT WARRANTY RAN OUT THEY CHANGED THEIR STORY TO 'THE ENGINE IS CONSUMING THE OIL, THAT'S NOT UNDER WARRANTY'. MEANWHILE I AM LEFT WITH A HORRID CAR THAT WONT RUN. *PH
