ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STRUCTURE:BODY
I PURCHASE MY CAR IN 2001 BRAND NEW. SHORTLY AFTER I STARTED TO NOTICE THAT WHEN I GET IN MY CAR IN THE MORNING TIME OR AT NIGHT ( WHENEVER I USE THE LIGHTS) IT WOULD FLASH FROM BRIGHT TO DIM I TOOK IT TO STOCKBURGER SO THEY COULD LOOK AT IT BUT IT WASN'T FLICKERING THEN SO THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING. AND IT'S STILL DOING THE SAME THING THERE IS THIS NOISE IN THE ENGINE LIKE A TICKING SOUND WHEN I START THE CAR I TOOK TO MIDAS FOR THEM TO CHECK IT OUT BUT THEY SAID THE NOISE WAS NORMAL IT DOESN'T SOUND NORMAL. THE WINDOW ON THE DRIVER SIDE DOESN'T ALWAYS GO UP WHEN ITS LET DOWN IT STAYS STUCK FOR A WHILE THEN IT GOES UP. I DID HAVE A RADIO PROBLEM STOCKBURGER COULDN'T REALLY FIND THE PROBLEM SO THEY JUST REPLACE THE WHOLE THING. WHEN I DRIVE THE CAR THE DRIVER DOOR CONSTANTLY COMES OPEN. *JB

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
ENGINE FAILURE DUE TO OIL STARVATION. OIL WAS CHANGED REGULARLY IN THE CAR, BUT DEALER FOULD EXCESSIVE OIL SLUDGING IN ENGINE. THE 2.7L V6 ENGINE HAD 43,000 MILES ON IT. SEARCH FOR INFORMATION ON 2.7L V6 ENGINE INDICATED THAT THIS IS A COMMON OCCURANCE DUE TO WHAT SEVERAL ENGINE EXPERTS HAVE STATED IS DUE TO INTERNAL OIL PASSAGES THAT ARE TOO NARROW FOR ENGINE OIL TO PROPERLY CIRCULATE CAUSING THE OIL TO "COOK" INSIDE THE ENGINE. RECEIVED REPORTS OF THIS OCCURRING AS EARLY AS 35,000 MILES WITH THE AVERAGE FAILURE AT 50,000 MILES. CHRYSLER FAILED TO RESPOND TO PROBLEM AND DENIED 8/80 WARRANTY COVERAGE FOR THE ENGINE REPAIRS.
