FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM:FUEL RAIL, EQUIPMENT
ON 03/21/2007 I WAS COMING FROM WORK AND SMELLED GASOLINE, ON HAVING MY VEHICLE CHECKED BY A LOCAL MECHANIC, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE FUEL RAIL AND THE FUEL LINE HAD BECOME DISENGAGED. AS I HAD THE FUEL RAIL CHANGED UNDER A RECALL ORDER BACK IN 11/2007, I CONTACTED THE DEALER THAT HAD COMPLETED THE WORK BACK THEN. I WAS ADVISED THAT IF IT WAS THEIR FAULT THE REPAIRS WOULD BE MADE AT NO CHARGE. IF NOT I WOULD BE CHARGED $75 PER HR. IT WAS AGREED THAT THE DEALER WOULD PICK UP THE VEHICLE ON 03/22/2007. AS OF 03/25/3007 MY VEHICLE HAD STILL NOT BEEN PICKED UP. I AM UNABLE TO DRIVE SAID VEHICLE BECAUSE OF "GASOLINE" SQUIRTING OUT FROM THE DISCONNECTION AND POURING OUT ON THE HIGHWAY AND ON THE VEHICLE.*AK

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I WAS DRIVING AT 40 MPH ON A BUSY HIGHWAY AND MY ENGINE SHUT OFF. I WAS ABLE TO GO TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD AND AVOID ANY TRAFFIC PROBLEMS. HAD MY VEHICLE TOWED TO THE REPAIR SHOP , AND THEY INDICATED THAT MY ENGINE WAS BLOWN AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. I ONLY HAD 82,000 MILES AND CHANGED MY OIL 3 TO 4 TIMES A YEAR.THIS WAS WELL WITHIN THE GUIDLINES. HAD MY CAR TOWED TO THE DEALER AND THEY WERE GREAT. THEY SET UP A COMMUNICATION WITH CHRYSLER AND INSTEAD OF HAVING TO PAY $8,100 FOR AN ENGINE REPLACEMENT, THEY OFFERRED TO PAY $7,000 AND I HAD TO PAY $1,000. I WAS HAPPY WITH THE RESULT, HOWEVER, I DON'T KNOW WHY I SHOULD HAVE LIABLE FOR ANY AMOUNT.*AK

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
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!
