ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE
THE ENGINE OF MY 2000 CHRYSLER CONCORD FAILED WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE CAR ON OCTOBER 13, 2004.I HAVE SLIGHTLY OVER 60,000 MILES ON THE CAR AND IT IS 4 1/2 YEARS OLD.*AK I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO MY DEALERSHIP. UPON INSPECTION, THEY STATED THAT THEY "FOUND ENGINE SLUDGED UP CAUSING MINIMAL AMOUNT OF OIL PRESSURE (ROD BEARINGS AND TIMING CHAIN BAD)" THEY STATED THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT AN ESTIMATED COST OF $7000 PLUS TAX. THE SERVICE MANAGER, PETE, SAID THAT THIS ENGINE IS A CONTINUAL PROBLEM AND THAT THEY HATE TO SEE THESE CARS COME IN FOR REPAIR. I HAD THE AUTOMOBILE TOWED TO A PRIVATE REPAIR SHOP ON OCTOBER 19,2004 FOR A SECOND OPINION. THE REPAIR SHOP CAME BACK WITH THE SAME ISSUE AND A REPAIR ESTIMATE OF $5400. THE REPAIR SHOP ALSO STATED THAT THEY HAVE DONE SEVERAL OF THESE ENGINE REPLACEMENTS TO THE CHRYSLER 2.7L ENGINE. THAT THERE ENGINE HAS A VERY POOR DESIGN THAT LEADS TO SLUDGE PULLING INTO THE ENGINE EVEN WITH REGULAR AND TIMELY OIL CHANGES. IT IS A PROBLEM OF THE ENGINEERING DESIGN OF THE ENGINE. I HAVE PERFORMED THE OIL CHANGES ON THE VEHICLE BASED ON THE RECOMMENDED MILES IN THE OWNERS MANUAL. I STILL OWE ABOUT $4800 ON A VEHICLE THAT DOES NOT RUN DUE TO A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. CHRYSLER REFUSES TO EXTEND THEIR WARRENTY. THERE SHOULD BE NO NEED TO REPLACE SUCH A LOW MILEAGE ENGINE THAT HAS BEEN PROPERLY CARED FOR.
