Description of the problem | Problem with 2. 7 liter engine. Dealership said it was negligence on my part. Said i didn't do my oil changes correctly, said i would need a new engine. My extended warranty nor chrysler would cover vehicle. Took it to another auto service shop. They said i didn't need a new motor. They clean out the heads and engine and said that it was not my fault that the 2. 7 liter engine chrysler engine had these problems from day one. I also was informed that there was others told the exact things, that they were at fault and chrysler wouldn't pay. The professional tech's of chrysler also advise against buying this model. Also look on the internet and there were people with 20,000 miles with the same problem told the same thing by chrysler. Also chrysler does not offer this engine sizes in the new models because of the problems with the 2. 7 liters. My car was used at purchase and i average about 10,000 miles a year. |
