Description of the problem	I purchased a brand new chrysler 300 in july of 2006. Despite frequent oil changes, routine maintenance, my engine seized at 43,510 miles on october 4, 2008 , requiring replacement. My dealership closed and i was informed by chrysler that warranty period ended. It was a huge blow financially but i managed to have a rebuilt engine installed at a cost of $5,000. I had oil changed every 4000 to 6000 miles but despite that my engine has failed again at 83,000 miles. The mechanic said my oil, coolant levels were fine but the 300 is notorious for this. I? M beyond belief to need a 3rd engine for a car i still owe money on. Looking online to see if others have similar problems, i found hundreds of owners on blogs, face book and other social media who had the same problem with the 2006 2. 7l 300. I can not believe a recall has not been done. Many people think the bbb in a non profit organization but they collect fees, rarely lowering rating of companies who pay them. Despite the fact ford sells more cars , chrysler has close to 10 times the number of complaints not resolved to owners satisfaction. 10 x! I ask the nhtsa to look into how the bbb can justify the same rating with such a huge difference in unresolved complaints. The 2006 chrysler 300 has a engine that easily fails for a number of reasons. I have owned many cars, with far more miles and never replaced a seized engine. Now i have 2006 300, purchased brand new, that failed at 43,000 and now again at 83,000! I know how to care for my vehicle, routine maintenance requirements, but chrysler seems to put all the blame on owners. Please do what your organization was intended and help to make sure others do not make the same mistake as me. Chrysler spends money on marketing, cool looking cars, without much concern for flaws with the engine.
