My 2006 Chrysler Sebring has catastrophic engine failure due to the oil sludge I would like to fix it but I can’t find a new engine.

The engine is potentially blown due to water pump leaking into the timing belt compartment oil sludge and several oil leaks. Constantly over heating even after scheduled maintenance. Notice water mixed with oil.

2007 Dodge Charger has problems with heads and coolant spent 4000 on repairs got car back now it’s over heating Dodge really have to help us because we don’t make engines and we’re putting to much money on our cars for more problems

i own a Chrysler 2006 with the @.7 engine and it is having issues!! I would like to be included in this class action law suit!! Please forward my info to the lawyers working in this lawsuit. Thank you

I have a 2003 Dodge stratus that currently has 92,000 miles on it .the motor is shot has been making terrible noise since 64,000 miles. I would like to e part of this class action lawsuit. I will never purchase a Dodge Chrysler vehicle ever again.

Years back, I had the engine of a Dodge Stratus ES start on fire while my son and I were driving down the road in it!! It was the only new car I’ve ever owned. We pulled over and got out before the car engulfed in flames. The fire department came and put it out. Total Loss. Had just paid it off and taken full coverage off it. Is there someone i should speak to to see if I qualify for the suit?

I have a 2004 dodge Durango I need a new engine light was on from the very beginning never could get it inspected. started it one day and the engine started making all kinds on noise. I don’t want to put the money in it all those engines are bad. I might sell it for parts. if I do can I still sue for all the lost money I invested? please get back with me 5.8 hemi 2004

Paid over $2,000 to have 2.7L engine rebuild after if seized up and blew head gasket and now again $1,800 for same problem! Chrysler should be responsible for cost of repairs !!!

2010 charger 71,000 miles on it. engine locked up on the freeway. i called dodge to see about warranty, they said it ended 3 months prior.(of course it did) they said they could do a Goodwill because of circumstance. they contacted dealer closest to me and provided me with the info. i took it in and they said they needed to do a tear down which would cost me 450.00 if i deny repair. i said fine and signed the paperwork. my car has now been there almost two months, i have called over and over and been texting service manager week in and week out , he keeps giving me the run around and saying dodge won’t return his calls and he would keep trying. i have got only one phone call from them the whole time and he just called to say he got ahold of someone and they wanted pictures to he would send them in and give me a call back after. then went back to the run around of nobody is calling him back. Note, he did tell me a week 1/2 in that it was an internal issue and nothing i did to cause it. anyways i ended getting fed and calling dodge myself. It took them 5 minutes to DENY the goodwill they had already said they were going to do. i then sat back and waited for the service manager to tell me himself. a week later of hearing nothing i texted him and asked if he heard anything, he said no he would call them first thing in the morning, and we played that game for another week. I finally got a a voicemail from service department saying he was told from the service manager (that i had been texting) to call me and see what i was going to do with the car, start the 9,000 dollar engine repair or if not they need me to come pick it up because in a week Dec. 1st they will have new ownership and will start charging storage… i went down there immediately and talked to them,and pay for the tear down and get my car out of there. service manager said ya dodge denied the goodwill I’m sorry i won’t charge you for anything we did. my guy will get your paperwork and set up a tow. i was mad but atleast i didn’t have to pay the 450.00.. well as i was about to sign the papers i was talking to this guy and found out they NEVER even did the tear down. DUDE!!! so i asked for my original paperwork that i signed when i brought my car in for the tear down and 450.00 cost. they could NOT provide it, they said they couldn’t find it, it could filed away or even shredded because next weeks transition to new owners. i asked the service manager what was going this is nuts, the whole point was to figured out why my car seized up and how can you determine who’s fault it is for seizure. how can i get denied if the reason why i brought my car in never even happened. i told them to put reason of seize on the paperwork and they put in a possible cause. i said no no this isn’t expectable but by that time service manager dissapered and was not reachable. i said to put in the paperwork that the original tear down i signed is now lost. he hand wrote original WO (work order) is not attainable due to transition of ownership. i said that still doesn’t say anything work order could mean anything. they said just sign and they would look for it tomorrow. i said no i will wait until its found and left. my car is still there. EVERYTHING is recorded down all dates, all phone calls what was said, texts, i logged it all. SOMEONE HELP

My 2007 dodge charger with the 2.7 engine just suddenly ran hot and the car shut down. I had all on my services on the car. Now they tell me that I need a new engine. This is just crazy. They know that there is a problem but ignored it and put are lives in danger. Now I have a car that I can’t drive .please let me know if anything comes of the lawsuit

Bought my wife a 2003 Chrysler Concord last year in May for her birthday. Had to replace the water pump and timing chain in August and again this summer. In the process of the mechanic tearing the front half of the motor down I was told that motor was gone, because when the water pump went out water got in the motor and mixed with oil. I kept up with the general maintenance the year my wife had the car. doing the water pump cost me 600. I even had to put a starter on , another 400. All this in a year, not to mention the 3000 I paid for the car not counting taxes, tabs and the plates, plus insurance. Knew nothing about that Chrysler 2.7 engine, but I do now. ”PIECE OF CRAP”

I have a 2007 Dodge Charger and my engine just went out. I had to put in a new engine that cost me 6,000 dollars. I really think that everyone really need to get together and make this lawsuit real. I will never buy a dodge again.

Please contact me someone about this lawsuit thank you

SERIOUSLY? OMG, how do I get in on the suit? Chrysler should never put a car out, and leave it out with such a defective engine. I am very disappointed in Dodge/Chrysler

I have a 2002 dodge intrepid 2.7 v6 . And my husband was head to.work in the intrepid and it acted like it was runing out gas but it got over half a tank . And had it towed it would not start and now it starts but makes this loud clanking sound when you start it . My brother want say we have a brown motor can any one help me please

I want get in on the lawsuit because I bought a 2003 dodge stratus 2.7 engine. I been hearing everyone problems and I’m going the same.. I have put a lot work into this vehicle but it’s hit and miss with the car.. The check engine light stays on knowing I fix everything you can think of. I would like to see what I can do about this problem just like everyone else is.

I have an 04 dodge intrepid and I’ve only had the car a little over a year now. I bought it off a car lot at for what I thought was a great price of $2,500 with all taxes and fees. I’ve added miles to the car in the last year and she now reads at only 165,000 and something. Still plenty of mileage left on the engine or I thought. My head gasket blew out in my engine a week ago and it also leaked coolant into my oil and caused sludge and a milky oil substance to form in my oil now. Is this normal for these engines to do this? Can anyone give me some insight on this and also I’ve been told that its best for me to replace my engine now. Thanks to anyone who can share with me.

Over 200,000 miles with no issues. Regular oil and filter, changed every 3,000 miles. Of course, regular maintenance is up to date as well.

I have a 2006 Dodge Magnum with a 2.7ltr which I purchased in 2012 and the motor went out on September 1, 2013 while I was driving. The oil light came on the engine lost power and shut completely down in the middle of the highway. Before that I didnot have any problems. I had to have my car towed to the mechanic shop. He broke the engine down and found a white substance mixed with the oil and caused the oil pump to stop up and caused the engine to loose compression. I haven’t finished paying for the car yet and I can’t even drive it. I cannot afford a new or rebuilt engine. They are expensive and this is rediculous. So many peolp haveing problems with these engines. Being a woman when you buy a used car the salesman know something is wrong and they won’t tell you. I asked specifically about recalls and problems with these cars and I was told they were very good on gas and have the best engines out of all of the latest Dodge designs. The gas mileage is true but the engines I don’t think so. I live in Georgia and I need help.

My son just bought his first car in October of 2013. It’s a 2008 Dodge Charger 2.7. The car just came out of the shop on Thursday, April 17 for having a new water pump and timing chain tensioner installed (he had to take our a loan for that bill!) The mechanics called us to look at the horrible sludge in the engine before reassembly. My son took pictures of the mess. Now, two days later while driving, the oil light came on and the engine lost power. The car died and had to be toured home (another bill!). The alternator and battery are both fine but the car will not start. We are pretty sure that the motor is shot and will find out for sure soon. Now the poor boy is stuck with a very high interest car loan for the next 4 1/2 years! There is no way he can afford a new/rebuilt/used motor. What’s he supposed to do? If anyone has any updates on this suit, please advise. We live in Mississippi.

I am the not-so-proud owner of a 2003 Dodge Stratus. I bought this vehicle from a small dealership in La Habra, CA. I want to say first that it is a very lovely car on the outside, but boy does it have engine problems. I guess the previous owner kept it very well, but the dealership didn’t do an oil change. I don’t know exactly what went wrong, but in addition to the oil sludge issue, there is an oil distribution issue with the design. That means even if you sink 800 bucks in part and fix everything yourself (the right way) it may still blow up on you again later. This is where me and my friend disagree, although he is a lot smarter when it comes to cars. I had him rip everything apart for me because I thought my engine issues were sludge related. They weren’t. My friend’s friend works in a machine shop and is pretty well respected among the car restoration community. He said that he rebuild a 2.7 V6 DOHC Dodge Stratus (just like mine) for a customer one time and she was back within a month with the same issue as before. he said it is the design of the engine that causes some places to not get quite enough oil which causes heat/wear/friction/chips of metal… (at least in mine…). Anyway he said higher viscosity is better (like 20W50 but it seems to me like it would be harder to circulate unles you had a high pressure oil system). Anyway, i hope this helped someone. LAWSUIT UPDATE: The only thing I have been able to find regarding the lawsuit was the consolodation of a lot of them into ne court, but with many more pending in other courts. That was in 2005? Anyway, you know what hapened. The US Government told the court to let them off the hook because it was going to be tax payers paying the settlements. If anyone gets one started call/text me or have your lawyer do it so I can join. I bet I could help find some certified, respected mechanics (and engineers) say the design is flawed because Dodge/Crystler/Whoever at the time wanted to make an ecological engine and saved a bit of energy by making smaller holes somewhere in the oil system. I gues a lot of that is speculation, but I digress.

My problem sounds all to familar to most of the comments above. I have a 2001 Dodge Intrepid and ended up with a blown engine. I let the car sit for over 3 years, wasnt aware of lawsuits. So does anyone know of the outcome? I just recently had an engine put in it, but it appears I might have the same problem again. No wonder the guy that did the work for me told me that he was having problems finding an engine for it.

We brought a used 2004 Dodge Durango with 45,000 miles for $10,000 at a Dodge dealership. At about 85,000 miles the motor seize. The dealership told us it would be $4,000 for a new engine. We kept up with the oil chances but they didn’t want to hear it. With two year payment left on the car we ended up buying a used van and transferring the rest of the Durango payments, now we are paying $365.00 for 5 years which is crazy. Don’t know if the Durango is included in the law suit can some help?

My wife’s 2007 Dodge Charger one day car temp was hot, put water in, car was fine. The next day (morning) car ran hot after driving for only 30 min. Adding water helped for 10 min., car started knocking, then smoking then shut down completely. I had car towed to Dodge dealer and was told there was no oil in the car/engine and the engine was ruined and it would cost $7,000 to fix/replace. I had a tune-up/oil change less than a year ago! WTH!!! Oh and the oil light NEVER came on!!!!!!! Is there a class action lawsuit concerning this?

I have a 2005 Magnum with a 2.7 engine I have changed the oil every 3,000 miles and did love theI car until l had engine problems. I took it to the mancanic told him what it was doing and he told me the proable problem before he ever look at it because it is widely known in the industry about sluge problem. So the took the valve covers of and I could not believe my eyes there was sluge a half in thick all over the valves told him of the oil changes and he told me it does not matter their is a defect in the engine. He told me he believes it is that the return lines are to small and that is why it gets clogged up and causes the sluge build up. He said the only answer is to completely rebuild the engine but evenwith that it would eventully build up again. I had an Intrepid and Dacoda with same engine the engines went bad on them but they were used when I bought them. This is the last Cyrisler Car I will ever buy an advise every one else to do the same. I would like to get in on the class action suit if anyone has info on how please respond.

my 2004 dodge intepid oil light keeps coming on.had to replace transmission 1500.00 later. everyone says the engine is going to blow anytime

2004 sebring 85000 Engine just seized, I am thinking about swapping the engine. Are there any upgrades or another size engine?I love the car plus I can,t afford a new car.

I had the 2.7 engine blow up in my 2008 Dodge Charger, dealership said it was caused from oil sludge build up and would honor the lifetime warranty.

2002 Dodge Intrepid 2.7L SE. Thing totally crapped out at me on 128k without warning, no sitting in driveway with little hopes of moving again. Had put in Royal Purple Synthetic oil just weeks prior. Thanks Dodge.

Bought a used 2001 intrepid with roughly 100k on it 6 weeks ago. Water pump suddenly went with no warning and trashed the engine. Car is now sitting in junk yard. $1200 to replace water pump and no guarantee the bearing won’t cease due to prestone in the motor having been heated up while driving. Temperature gauge didn’t even give me an indication of trouble. This is terrible that their motors are like this. We are a family of 4 with a brand new baby and we bought a car that was in MINT condition for it’s age. Very well maintained, new pumps, timing chains, all service done over it’s life. All oil changes done. Records to prove. A $40 part that is known to break due to terrible engine design has now left us with no car. I will never, ever ever buy a Dodge or Chrysler product again. Period. I sincerely hope they go bankrupt. First it was the neon’s faulty engines.. then the faulty rack & pinions… now this. And they were bailed out for this???

i bought my wife a 2002 stratus 2 yrs ago at a local lot in redding ca. . one day driving down the freeway , the moter throughs a rod throu the oil pan . 5,000 dollers gone ,do you think if it been a issue since 1989 the owner of the lot new any history on the car ….i do ,frankly im tired of being lied to and rippedoff , from the government to the bank ,to the car dealers.

I own a 2007 Dodge Charger with a 2.7 24v DOHC and i gave the car to my daughter after driving it about 9 months after i gave it to her she was driving home from the beach and it over heated my first inclination was coolant after checking realizing that wasn’t the problem she told me that her oil light came on i checked the oil and the sump was full after it had cooled down she tried to start it again and it just locked up and i could hear the bearing spin i could sure use some help here is there any thing i can do to try to rectify this issue?

I hate 2.7 thanks dodge I ll never buy one again. Your lame and thanks fot making cars that break. Single dad. 148,000 2006 dodge magum

I have a 2002 Dodge Intrpid that has not blown up yet, but continues having the oil coming on at times. The other issue is It’s starting to overheat. How can I get in on the lawsuit for the 2.7 engines?

Serena: DECK means your trunk is open close it and get the engine fixed.if it needs it. You can either afford to drive or you can’t and must take the buss. Stop trying to sue or fight everybody. mechanical things break, some break sooner but all of them break at some point in time.

WOW, it all sound so fimiliar. I have a 2002 Dodge stratus I have already spent 700.00 on this car 4 months after purchasing it then 3 months later coming home from work it started knocking really hard and stopped had it towed to the house then I saw it was reading ” DECK” where the mileage should be and it has not started since so I am making payments on a car that I can’t even drive because I don’t want to ruin my credit anymore than it is. No money to get it fixed and no money to buy another car. How do I get in on this lawsuit.

My brother took my nephew to purchased his 1st car.Found a 2oo4 stratus with 5om miles.Paiid $8000 . Now the engine is shot.Only had it for several years . His mother died in 2ooo @ 42. an hsi father let’s just say he doesn’t exist.H.e trying to go to college .So what do you do with a 2004 car with a bad motor…

Same story here. 40,000 miles in and we had to replace the engine on our 2001 Sebring LX (2.7L V6). The tech told us it was sludge buildup. That was $6,000 I’d have rather not spent. That was 5 years ago, so this new engine’s probably due to go now too. Does anyone know anything about joining the class-action group?

My daughter bought a 2002 Dodge Stratus about 8 months ago paid $4500.00 for it . Bought from a private seller he had all the paperwork for reg. oil changes tire rotation all the maintenance. She has kept up with oil changes as well . She is now 8months pregnant also has gestational diabetes and 3 Dr. apts. a week with that said last week the engine started knocking took it to the shop and a rod is knocking nothing they can do to fix it . After doing some research i find out about this faulty engine . We are just sick about this there is no money to get a new car or replace the engine which will eventually blow and i am worried for her safety when it does . So i am now driving her car and let her use mine. I just cant believe there was not a recall on this engine !! Anyone have a clue how to maybe prolong the life of the engine even if there is already a rod knocking ?

My daughter (Sam) just bought her first car, a Chrysler Dodge Intrepid 2001, and has been putting money into it ever since she bought it only three months ago. Now the car (that broke down in the middle of the night on her way home from work in scary Ft. Lauderdale Fl.) is dead in the driveway, do to the piece of shit 2.7 engine. My question like so many others is is there a recall on this engine and if not will there be. Sam paid $5,300.00 for this Intrepid and still owes most of that money, also $1,200.00 out of her pocket for additional repairs since time of purchase. It’s no wonder so many people don’t care anymore if they buy american made, when an american company like Chrysler won’t step up and recall their faulty products. I apologize for you Chrysler, for ruining the reputation for all american companies.

Owned a 2001 intrepid with 2.7 L. Engine failed at 97k, Prior to that no issues car was a great cat. I purchased a 7 yr extended 100k bumper to bumper warranty. What few issues I had up to the engine fail was always covered. When the engine died at 97k the Dealership said is was sludge problem and stated it was not covered so I called Chrysler. They set up conference call with dealer and stated “we can save you some time, I guarantee a car with 97k will have some sludge but any engine failure is covered by the warranty, so fix the car” Diamler Chrysler warranty covered car rental as well. Car was repaired in about a week and we drive the car another 75k then traded for another Chrysler product. Not sure why other folks are having these issues. For me Diamler Chrysler held to their warranty

The sad truth to all the Chrysler / Dodge engine problems is since they filed bankruptcy and our government gave them Billions to get going again , they are NO longer responsible for and past vehicles produced that had major problems like the famous 2.7L , which I own. I personnally think it’s total BS , because GM , which I absolutely dispise as a company has steped up to honor their prior bankruptcy problems. Trivia — I have a 2004 Intrepid with the oil light on at anything less than 1000 rpm’s . It has 126,000 only because I’ve been nursing it along for years. It started consuming coolant a long time ago but with going to a 7lb. rad. cap and lots of stop-leak , I’ve made it this far. The engine has seen synthetic oil most of it’s life but now I’m running 6 qts. of straight 50 weight to keep the oil light out. I’ve only heard a slight engine rap for a few seconds after changing the oil. I now fill the filter prior to installing to stop that. It’s not if this engine is going to die , just a matter of when. Like most of us , when it does , a perfectly good car will be parked as we have NO money to fix. Thanks Chysler !!

I have a 2001 Chrysler Intrepid, I have repalced the engine twice, now having the same problems. The head gasket is now leaking and I was told I need to replace the engine for the third time. How can I get in on the lawsuite agains Chrysler for this engine problem. Please someone send me some information.

I have a 2006 Sebring with less than 35K miles that has a bad oil leak front right side of engine. I had a mechanic open up the timing belt area an he found the crankshaft seal popped out and excessive end play on the ceankshaft. I have read many post about this and the oil sludge problems. Does anyone know if there is a seperate class action on the crank seal problem, or would it be coverd in the oil sludge suite? Also information on how to join these suits.
