The United States Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation has issued an order which will transfer all Chrysler engine class action lawsuits pending in various federal district courts throughout the United States to the District of New Jersey for coordinated handling during pretrial proceedings in an MDL, or multidistrict litigation.

There are currently five class action lawsuits pending against Chrysler over their 2.7 liter engines used in several models of Chrysler and Dodge vehicles between 1998 and at least 2003. The Chrysler lawsuits allege that defective designs make the engines prone to form oil sludge, which could causes the engine to fail much earlier than would normally be expected.

A growing number of complaints have been filed by owners of Chrylser Sebring, Chysler Concord, Dodge Intrepid and Dodge Stratus vehicles with the smaller 2.7 liter engine, which have been found to fail around 50,000 to 60,000 miles, but in some cases as early as 20,000 miles.

This type of catastrophic engine failure would not typically be expected anytime before a vehicle reaches 100,000 miles, yet Chrysler has been denying engine warranty coverage since the problems are caused by a build up of oil sludge.

According to the Center for Auto Safety, at least 2,800 reports of Chrysler engine failure involving oil sludge in the 2.7 liter engines were received as of early 2007. Since that time, as the vehicles age, owners continue to report the engine problems.

Chrysler and Dodge engine failure class action lawsuits are currently pending in the Eastern District of California, Middle District of Florida, Northern District of Illinois, District of New Jersey and Southern District of New Jersey on behalf of vehicle owners in those states. In addition, other class action lawsuits and individual lawsuits could be filed in other districts.

The Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation found that the Chrysler engine lawsuits involve common questions of fact and that centralization would serve the convenience of the parties and witnesses and promote the just and efficient conduct of the litigation.

Chrysler’s lawyers opposed the consolidation, arguing that the proposed classes do not overlap and that agreements can be reached between the parties in the lawsuits to minimize any overlapping discovery or risk of inconsistent rulings without the formation of an MDL. However, the Panel rejected these arguments.

“These actions are nearly identical in terms of the facts alleged, and discovery undoubtedly will overlap,” wrote Chairman of the Panel on Multidistrict Litigation, John G. Heyburn, II, in an order issued February 10, 2009. “Centralization will enable one judge to streamline pretrial proceedings and make consistent rulings on discovery disputes, dispositive motions and issues relating to experts.”

The MDL panel decided to transfer all of the Chrysler engine lawsuits to the District of New Jersey, as the action in that Court has been pending longer than the other actions. The litigation will be assigned to U.S. District Judge Faith S. Hochberg for coordinated and consolidated pretrial proceedings.

Since the litigation involves putative statewide class actions for residents of five different states, the MDL panel did indicate that in the future, Judge Hochberg can suggest that the Panel consider remanding the actions to the original courts where they were filed for class certification considerations if that becomes necessary.

2002 Chrysler Concorde 86,000 miles well maintenanced all of the sudden car starts overheating. No leaks in reservoir or hoses. Took it to the shop and was informed of a blown head gasket potentially costing me up to $2000. I need help fixing this issue
Patricia
All seem to be the same problem beware of these cars look nice but—–I have the 2006 Sebring same problem coolant issue fixed was cutting out and now head gasket car looks like new——

08 dodge charger 2.7 just took a shit. $1500 later it is still running bad. Re did the timing chain, valves etc. Now its still throwing the p0016 code for timing. Replaced sensors wires look fine. Had no problems before the timing went.

We have a 2010 Chrysler Sebring that is a huge paperweight in the driveway it started msking all kinds of noise thought we had bought bad gas. The noise continued. We took it to a Chrysler dealershio told them about the noise and the oil light coming on and how the car would quit when trying to stop. They diagnosd the car at needing a timing chain tensioner. Cost us 1500. The oil light continued to come on ntuis is one car that we did the up keep on it needless to say the car is still broje oil lihht still coming on and a noise has came back. So now we are looking into a new motor because we still owe on this car. I will never buya chrysker car aanymore. Which is vrry unfortunate because they are a sharp looking car. Chrysler you shoukd do something to keep your customers happy.m

please give me a call regarding an oil sludge claim thank you.

In 2008, I bought a 08 Dodge charger. I have been having engine problems since 2010 but I’ve had over 20 mechanics look at it and they just say the same thing that I need another engine. I kept the oil changed in spite of the oil leaks, but I just had to buy a ’13 Toyota corolla because it just recently broke down.

2004 Chrysler Sebring GTC Convertible I purchased the car with 134K miles. It had a code for Cam shaft Position Sensor. It had stop leak in the coolant. The oil was jet black. The heat was extremely slow to warm up. The coolant bottle stays empty no matter how often it’s filled. SOLUTION-Drain the old coolant and add a highly effective stop leak. add an engine flush while holding high idle for ten minutes. change the oil and swap out a quart with Marvel Mystery Oil. drive 200 miles then change to a full synthetic but keep checking the oils color and when its brown drain it. The stop leak will clog heater core but it also stops the oil water mixing that kills the engine. These cars all have sexy designs that lure you in and then your hooked on them. The key is to patch-em-up and flip-em. Then buy an old Toyota and forget being flashy for a while.

Hi my name is Luis I have a 2006 Chrysler 300 2.7 engine first engine died at 94, 000 miles due to build up slug. Had another 2.7 put in with only 28,000 miles and it only lasted 2 years with build up slug.now I have a Chrysler 300 in my garage with no engine. Chrysler refuses to recall 2.7 engines and they know about the 2.7 issues
greg
2004 stratus 2.7 v6 180000 miles running fine bought it new. only use synthetic oil. change every 7500 miles. drive it 50 miles to work daily. ddont know if i am one of the lucky ones or taken care of it had anything to do with it? you decide!
Teresa
Just bought a 2002 dodge intrepid already having problems with it. Who do I need to contact about class action lawsuit?
Steven
On the 2.7 there are two catalytic converters. One on each side of oil pan. This set up cocentrates heat to oil pan and this in turn burns out oil due to high temps, quicker than regular oil change intervals. Oil becomes sludge and catastrophic engine damage can result from this. Bottom line every engine has quirks particular to its design. Unfortunately car manufactures know about these issues but fail to inform consumer and unecessary damage could have been otherwise avoided by proper prevetative maintenane. Anyone who has this particular engine should bear this in mind and switch oil sooner and use one designed to withstand higher temps.

On August 23rd.,2014 from a Ford dealership used car lot I bought a Dodge Stratus for my Son as his new Ford Fusion was t-boned and demolished and the insurance claim barely paid it off but left with no way to get to work, thus this purchase. It had 123,262 miles on it and was previously owned by a mechanic who “took care of it” per the salesman. Clean and ran good but after having it a few months we took it in for a due oil change and were told that nearly everything was leaking, including the engine. I spent over $1,300.00 for all seals, gaskets and all else to be fixed but the engine as the Service Manager wanted to make sure the rest was fixed and also the bill would e greater for the engine due to the fact of poorly engineered design. We were never aware of Chrysler’s problems as this is the first Chrysler product in the Wright Family, always has been GM or Ford. The oil change the odometer had 127,921 miles on it on 11-14-2014 and now on 02-09-2015 it seized and cannot be logically fixed, too much $! Contacted the dealer where bought and faxed all repair info but have not heard back as of yet. I am out of work for the last five months and have no income. I have but one other car and he is using it to go to work, 48 miles a day. If some company hires me it will be absolutely impossible for both of us to get to work in just one car. Please inform me as to how to get on this lawsuit as this is Chrysler’s problem and they need to “nut up” to their responsibility for all concerned. An absolute disgrace of a former American company with a rich history to take a blind eye to the American public, their hard work and loyalty which Chrysler has enjoyed and prospered for many, many decades. Even the C.E.O. of Fiat had expressed a woe of regret of buying this car maker for all the problems and debt that came to light after doing so. Should of did his “homework” as we all should have did to stay away from misleading, contemptuous, greedy and corrupt officials of Chrysler. I hope we can settle this and they pay dearly and return the profit they made and lose even more.

auto repair shop worked on the 2.7 L engine because of coolant leaks after fixing leaks the engine built up pressure and then blue head gasket 100 miles later and the owner said its my fault I told the owner to look at the class action lawsuit.
Christel
I bought a 2004 Chrysler Sebring from someone I know. They told me they had replaced the timing belt within the 6 months before I bought it. A year and a half and 30,000 miles later, I went out to start my car and it would not start. I had it towed to my mechanic who told me the timing chain snapped and shredded my engine. There was no warning what-so-ever that there was any problem. It came as a complete shock. I’m an out of work single mother, I can’t afford a new engine. While looking on the internet for a used engine I came across hundreds of complaints about my engine. What makes me angrier is that Chrysler knows this engine is crap and refuses to do anything. I can not afford a new engine or a new car so I am completely screwed!
wayne
my engine died at 108000 mi. the oil light came on and i pulled over, brought it to chrusler and was told 5700 for new engine! funny, i was due for an oil change at 108000. had it rebuilt in home state of nj at a cost of 3000. combined with towing and car rental and im out 4 grand. a tech at chrysler told me they were notified by chrysler to check oil every 1000 miles. obviously something wrong here. im in new jersey, i have a 2007 chrysler 300 with a 2.7l engine
Tony
2.7l engine Chrysler should be held responsible for cause they knew engine had flaws but people who bought the cars didnt. It’s sad Chrysler a company they size want stand by product that they made. .. End of day it’s automotive robber..

I own a 2005 Chrysler sebring convertible. I absolutely love it. What many people dont realize this, but the problem is actually the engine its self. The 2.7L V6 DOHC engine and some other model engines but most commonly this one. Due to the fact of that the WATER PUMP is an internal version rotated by the TIMING CHAIN instead of the SERPENTINE BELT as in most vehicles. seems like great idea right? Wrong due to the water pump being exposed to MUCH hotter temperature (difference of over 100 degrees) okay with that being understood, Rubber seals and bearing are extremely sensitive to HIGH temperature, causing them to break down and causing the water pump to leak from the weep hole (designed to spill antifreeze onto ground for u to be aware of a problem) Heres the real problem, the weep hole in the 2.7L V6 DOHC Leads to the oil pan, DIRECTLY INTO UR OIL! So not only do you not know if you are having a leaking water pump but now you have Antifreeze and water in ur oil. okay heres what alot of people have trouble understanding, Oil will boil on its own but it takes 500 plus degrees to do so, okay water boils at around 100 degrees and antifreeze will boil around 150. okay well when oil boils it sludge’s up and becomes a molasses type consistency and that engine has very small pilot holes at the top of the engine for the cam shafts, valves and all the small inter working components. So for oil the consistency of molasses it wont work. Now if u have an engine that is having high pitch squealing and such with this engine in it, Immediately take it to a shop or have it towed. if u so decide to keep it. the engine may have to be rebuilt depending on how far the damage has gotten and everything, if u catch it early enough u can flush the engine with new oil every 2,500 miles (after replacing water pump) I replace my water pump every 80,000 miles and my oil every 5,000 (full synthetic oil to help keep seals and ever thing super clean and well lubricated) If you have any questions feel free to contact me.
Patrick
01 sebring convertible Nast lost power on freeway before I could get stopped it died when I opened the hood engine oil was sprayed everywhere. I’m assuming timing chain failure
Walt
I too am experiencing this problem with my Sebring 2.7L V6.bought it at 119,000 miles Now its at around 140,000 It just all of a sudden started stalling and dieing on me. I have kept it maintained and all. I loved this car! Then the problems just come out of left field all of a sudden, same as other complaints. Sitting at light or driving at a low speed and suddenly a low idle then die! It cranks back up but this shouldn’t be happening period! I have replaced everything from every sensor to alternator and batteries to no avail. Car was great but now its just turned to problems. Good thing God has my back so im not worried and I will be getting a new car soon but it wont be another Chrysler I don’t think, not with all the badfeedback and lawsuits of them lying about car issues and still put this model out. That’s jut pure greed and evil. I pray all are fortunate to get new cars. Look to God He will fix it. Oh yea by the way how can I get involved in this lass action lawsuit this car can potentially kill someone the way it does..smh

roger
My wife Shawn and I bought our daughter a car a 2003 beautiful Chrysler Concord with 97,000 miles on it for being 9-10 years old I thought it was a no brainer ….and 123,000 miles and 500 hundred miles left before the oil change the engine blew… Please add me to this list….
Terry
I bought a 2001 stratus with 109k at the beginning of this year (2014) April or May, I have to check my record for the exact date. On August 15 my engine blew leaving me stranded on the interstate. I bought the car for $3500 because I’m a student and need a dependable car. It was in great shape with low miles. Now I’m struggling to get to work and school. I was looking for a new engine when I began to see tons of reports on this sludge problem. Please include me in this lawsuite. I need help.
Lu
I got screwed too on my car I bought a 1999 Chyrsler Concord with the 2.7 engine, not knowing all this was going on with this engine. The car looked so good and I thought I was getting a deal at $3500/ I did this last Nov, and after ten months the engine blew up. Grant you it had 97,000 miles on it, after adding 3,000 miles. Now I have a note to finish paying and no car to get to work and there is no one to help because the car is too old. My mechanic check on a use engine to put in it and they wanted $3000 for it and you know it is going to do the same thing, you just don’t know when. I would not waist anymore money doing that. The saddest part is you know the car dealer knew when he sold it to me that the car would not last a year and the note is for 2 years. I am interested in the class action suit. I am 68 years old and can not afford another note. I believe the should have recall these engines long ago.
Melody
I too, am a Chrysler victom. In 2003 I was on the NYS Thruway on my way to work and the motor seized while I was the passing lane. Lost control however; was able to pull it off to the center median. It simply died right there. I bought it as a second owner it had 34,000 miles on it and shortly after the engine light kept coming on. I tokk it back the dealer, fixed over a few times as they told me. I then for 2 years took it to my own machanic becuase the engine light came on. Costing extra money in the thousands. I had to get a seond car paying two car pmts and starving to death and barley making my bills. Stress up the wazzooo. I paid $12,000 + on car I drove for less the n yrs having a 5 yr pmt plan. Total nightmail of my life…..I hate Chrysler and Dodge and used to swear by them. They cost me much personal pain. Not to mention could have been my life on the thruway that day.
Dominic
I have a 2001 startus with 100,000 miles. Oil light comes on at idle. Ive been told the motor is full of sludge. I have awlays changed the oil every 3000. Im scared to drive the car now. I live in northen illinois and i want in want more info on this proplem.

i just boght a crhysler concord with a 2.7 and 3 days after the water pump went out then the engine blew.i am interested in a law suit.
Michelle
I just purchased a 2001 Chrysler Concorde 6 days ago while driving the car yesterday it just shut off with no warning, I had it towed to a local garage and they tell me the motor is seized up due to oil sludge. I just purchased this damn car and love it but now I am faced with having to put a new motor in a car that I just purchased and the dealer says that they are sorry but they will not stand behind it. I want put on the class action lawsuit, this is totally insane. I wish I would have known about this motor before I purchased the car. Now I have a beautiful car that is just sitting.

I have a 2006 chrysler 300 with a 2.7l engine. I bought the car with 30,000 mile on it. I thought i was getting the car of my dreams, After about 3 years and 89,000 miles and treating my car as if it was a baby, changing oil on time and washing it almost every day. I was pulling into a car wash when the oil light came on briefly so i went to jiffy lube. becouse that is were i get my service done.They said it was a half a quart low so they topped it off and sent me on my way. the light was off and i got on the freeway and was heading home .When i got off the freeway exit i heard a noise coming from the engine. when i got home the noise was very loud. So i took the car to my mechanic and he said the rod bearing had spun and i needed a new engine 4,000.00 dollars .So after a mouth in shop and a new engine i got it back. within one week of having it back it stalled at a light and the idle positioning sensor light came on. It does this every time im at a light for longer than a minute. what the f_ _ _ else is going to go wrong. So much for my dream car !! Not a bad deal for a 32,000 dollar car that is 3years old. How can i join the law suit.

My 2003 Dodge Intrepid 2.7 Lt left me and family stranded on July 4th weekend when water pump dumped coolant into the crankcase. I am the only one working to support a family of 4. We change oil and service regularly according dealers manual. I spent approx $1500 in parts and labor due to the check engine light since I got the car. The oil light comes on when idling a stop light or intersection and still comes on even after several engine flushes …… mechanic said this was due to sludge build up. Before water-pump incident the car engine would just stall while i am slowing down and turning at intersection or unto driveway or into parking. I have have already replaced the transmission for shifting down to 2nd and and not changing while on the highway. But the July 4th incident was the most bizarre, as we were on the Highway the oil light came on which was strange because we had just topped it up (no flickering this time) and when I looked in my mirror i saw a dense white smoke trailing my car, I tried to pull over as fast as i could only to find that the brake pedal went straight to the floor and I had to use the park brake to help stop the vehicle. at this time smoke was coming from under the hood and fire on the exhaust by the O2 sensor and brake line …. it seemed like fluid of some sort (brake or power steering) was leaking/spraying on the engine. We had to leave the car on the side of the street and had it towed to a mechanic shop the next day (this was approx 80 miles out of town). the mechanic first listened to the engine and told us that it was a failed water-pump, he then checked the oil and told us we need to replace the engine due to water and oil mixing and that this would cost anywhere from $4000 to $5000 to complete. We then checked with 3 other mechanic shops that told us the same thing. We ended up towing the car to the house as we do not have the money to fix. My Husband bought this car for my birthday in 2004 and we took great care of it and worked hard to pay it off and we could not even get a fair trade when we tried to exchange it. This product is clearly defective due to manufacturer design or substandard parts. I believe that the manufacturer should be held accountable to repair or replace my vehicle as well as reimburse me all the expenses I have incurred over the past 3 1/2 months due to this car along with some compensation pain and suffering. Please include me in the class action lawsuit.
Dennis
We bought a Dodge Intrepid used with 13K miles and right after we got it the check engine light came on and we spent approx $1500 to fix with no success. We attempted to trade it but dealer offered us next to nothing due to check engine light. We had mechanic flush engine several due to sludge build up ……this we could not understand. Now the water-pump dumped/mixed all the coolant into the crankcase and caught fire while we were on I95 going to visit on 4th of July. it is now sitting i my driveway as every mechanic i talked with wants roughly $3000 – $5000 to repair or replace engine. I filed complaint with Daimler Chrysler and they refused to help. Is there someone out there who can help us?
craig
i brought my 1999 chrysler concord in 2007 and shortly after i got this car i immediately started having constant problems with this big machine no machine could ever figure out the main resource to this type of year model i have put many of my hard working dollars into this car just to end up on the side of the road broke down with my 2yr old little boy this seems like its a common problem with this 1999 concord

I purchased a 2001 Dodge (Brokedown) Intrepid from an auto auction recently( I know you take your chances with used cars but we all should not have the same problem. That mean manufacturer is doing something very wrong). The car was very clean inside and out with 110k miles. When they drove it in it was whisper quiet. I am a college student and was excited to get my first car I had saved up for almost two years. When I picked the car up the next day it had a knocking noise and cut off when I switched gears to leave. They had to come out and jump start it for me. Then it cut off again less than two minutes while driving. I had to call a tow truck and had it towed to a mechanic who told me the engine was dead and my damage would start at least $2000. Almost more than the car cost. I wish I knew about this website before I pour my life savings into american made cars. Could have gotten something better for my money. Next time I get a Toyata Camry. I just want to break even before i’m out of thousands of dollars and still no car. How can I get in on the lawsuit. Rip offs!
Christopher
SO YOU BOUGHT THE CHEAP INTREPID! This is the reason why I never buy the cheap version or base model of a car! Pay a little bit extra next time and get the better engine. I wouldn’t have even considered buying an Intrepid with the smaller engine? That’s just being cheap. I’ve owned many Chryslers, Dodges & Plymouths. Always the best version motors and equipment. Same with my Chevys and Fords. You get what you pay for. Here’s a good example: Back in the late 80’s I purchased a Cutlass Supreme International series with the High Output motor. My friend bought the same year Cutlass (base model) with the 4cyl. His was junk with in two years and a few years later we both traded them in for new cars with in a week of each other. My car had almost twice the mileage and ran like it was new, his barely ran and leak oil bad! Who do you think got the better deal when we traded them in? Again, you get what you pay for. I understand the 2.7L’s are junk and agree that Chrysler should pony up. BUT……….. As for you who say I’ll never buy from Chrysler again! Well they all have there good and bad cars. How about the Chevy Beretta’s or the Ford Tempo 4cyl. cars or any Ford four cyl. car. That’s why Ford bought Mazda because all Ford 4cyl’s were junk and they knew it.Buy a Ford today and there all by Mazda or Nissan. My father-in-law bought 2 Tempos back in the late 80’s. Both of these cars started to leak oil at 30,000 miles. by the time they got to 40,000 the heads cracked on both cars like clock work. Fords answer, not our problem! In the mid 80’s, A friend of mine had a Mercury (LN7 EXP Escort) We went to the scrap yard to get him a head for his engine and was told that cylinder heads sold for $100 but if they had one for a ford it would cost $400 due to how rare a good one was. Then on top of that we found out that ford went out of there way to screw there customers with the help of Michelin tires. They spent a lot of money to make a metric rim just the right size that nether a 14 or a 15in. tire would fit on. This way ONLY Michelin had tires for those rims. A monopoly, and charged over $200 per tire. And remember Ford did this on purpose no mistake just GREED. And OMG don’t get me started about the Ford Focus problems or the Ford van & trucks ignition switch fires!!! And as for the Chevy Beretta’s, You might see one on the road once in a blue moon. I still see a lot of the Dodge Shadows still driving around. The shadow was the Dodge competition to the Chevy Beretta. The Beretta almost killed GM, they were that bad. And how about there trucks? For 17 years they knew that they were death traps in a side collision. They also knew that $12.50 per truck would fix the problem. They had to be sued to get them to fix it! The point is they all have Lemons and problem cars. So the next time you go to buy a car spent a little extra for a extended warranty and upgrade in service. You buy cheap you get cheap! It’s that simple! If all you can afford is a base line Chrysler 300 with no extras, You can’t afford a 300. Buy a PT Cruiser with the extras for the same money and enjoy the fact that if it breaks down it’s covered. Duh’

I own a 2004 Chrysler Concorde LX and the check engine light is on. The problem is that when slowing to a red light, the car shifts down and I have to pull over, cut the car off and restart in order for it to go into the gears while driving. I had the car repaired one and half years ago for the very same problem and the Chrsyler Dealer, replaced the valve body but the check engine light came back on. When I phone the dealer and told them that the problem had reoccured, they stated that the valve body may have been bad and they tried to come up with other different problem as if it was neglect on my part. When driving any car, you have to stop and I get very tense when I start slowing down because the car will shift down. These dealers seem to rely only on diagnostic testing instead of driving the car to see what it is doing. This is the last AMERICAN MADE AUTO that I will buy. Chrysler needs to help their customers more and be honest with them and not be in it for the money. I need my car repaired because I have no other means of transportation n0r do I have anoth $695.00 to re-repair what should have been done 1 1/2 yrs. ago.

were do I sign up. I have a 2002 sebring converible oil light comes on at when I stop.

worse engine ever made very poor engineering they are selling a dangerous defective engine. i am interested in a lawsuit against dodge chrysler etc
Dustin
Well my father has a 2004 Concorde with a 2.7 Liter engine in the car from 2003. We put on over 209000 miles on the car and the motor just went. Car is in still good shape except for some paint chipping. Overall we were happy with this car. We were surpraised at the millage we got out of this car but now we have to part with it. It was a good car and our first chrysler product.
bob
I have a 2003 sat. sebring lxi conv. Oil has been changed every 3000 miles like clock work. Car ran good up to 120,000 miles. The water pump went out, leaked into the motor. I have not gotten it fixed yet. Cost is around $1000.00 ( so i was told by 3 different garages). I am worried about the sludge build up now, even if I change the oil and fix the pump. Does any one know if I can get in on this suit to fix the motor. I understand it cost money to fix a waterpump—- but not a $1000.00 any one got any answers. Thanks
Dana
I am a college student working 2 jobs my 2002 sebring was my only source of transportation. One day for no reason my engine failed leaving me stranded. I still owe money on this car and I have no way to replace the engine. This is awful that this could happen to so many people who in good faith purchased Chrysler products! At least it didn’t die when I was on the highway. I’ll never buy another Chrysler ever again nor will I recommend anyone else too!

I had a 2001 Intrepid – I bought it used with 80,000+ miles on it, I got the oil changed between 4,000-5,000 miles. The first problem occured within the first months of owning the car, the dealership I bought from Gene Steffy’s took care of the problem, they replaced the motor, they said that I broke a timing belt. I replaced the car and had to take $5,000 of the balance onto the new loan when they said that the new engine failed due to sludge several months later. I thought I had bought a good car from a 5 star dealer, now the concord 2004 that replaced the Intrepid is now beginning to require work and it doesn’t even have 100,000 miles on it yet. I am going back to Chevy as soon as I can. At least I know their cars work my Cavalier 168,000 miles and did not need the care or the concerns that the Chrysler, Dodge products have. Now I begin to panic when I reach 3,000 miles for an oil change. – 5 stats for this dealer I don’t think so for his repair department the guys are outstanding I guess they have to be with all the problems that must come in.

Just bought a 2004 Sebring LX used. It’s got 64,000 miles on it, and I noticed when idling, the oil light comes on. Wish I would have read this page before buying. The car has a warranty on it, so I plan on calling the dealer tomorrow. Hope this can be resolved, otherwise, I’d like to be considered for this lawsuit as well.

Buy a SUBARU because I had a Dodge Neon and at 40,000 miles like clockwork the head gasket blew (They all do this) at 12,000 miles all the brake rotors look like swiss cheese. I had all types of electrical problems too. Not a big Chrysler Dodge fan as you can see. 95,000 miles on Suby and no problems (oh i had to reset the computer once by disconnecting the battery) and it is more reliable then the Hondas I owned. Suburu mechanics suck though take it to a good service garage or work on it yourself.

I never new anything about these engines till I took my car to my mechaninc about the flickering oil light when i stopped at lights or signs. He just told me not even to bother getting a new engine but to just get rid of the car which I still owe a year of payments on. ’03 chrsysler sebring at 94000 miles. Never Never Never Again! I will do my research before buying another car.

I have a 2001 Dodge Intrepid. The oil sludge ruined my motor too. I would love to sue Chryslers butt off. I am very lucky though because my dad and my husband can fix my car instead of me having to take it to a dealership to get it fixed. But the point of the matter is that Chrysler needs to get their head out of their butt and fix their mistake. If not, one of these day Chrysler will have to close down because no one in their right mind will want to buy their crap.
