| Description of the problem | Chrysler sebring 2002 failed engine twice - one was the result that not enough oil change and it blew the engine. The 2nd time - claim the transmission blew the engine, which was to be under warranty but have refused claiming the abuse of the driver that caused this to happen. My believe is that there's a problem with the sebring engines. The vehicle only have 65,000 plus miles and we had only had the car back 3 weeks when the engine blew the 2nd time. The dealer that repaired this vehicle has failed to provide me with all the work that was completed on this vehicle. The company is bob frensley chrysler in goodlettsville, tn - 615 859-0000. I have requested this infomtion on serveral times and has yet being faxed. The vehicle is still at this chrysler dealership. |
