2. 7 liter engine suddenly fails without warning. Haven't fixed the problem yet. Still owe over 6,000 dollars on the car.

The engine stopped while driving on I-355 illinois.

The contact owns a 2001 Chrysler Concorde. The contact stated that the vehicle's engine coolant and oil were mixing. There was no damage to the head gaskets or valves which normally are the causes of this type of failure. The manufacturer would not repair the vehicle under warranty because the contact was the third party owner of the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to a mechanic shop to be repaired. The VIN was unavailable. The current and failure mileages were 77,000.

My car's performance had suffered a little. I was coming up on 60000 miles and decided to get some routine maintenance done. That was on Aug 13th, 2005. I went to start the car and it would not start. It worked fine the day before. I had it towed to a midas repair shop and they told me that it is a jumped timing issue. Basically it is an internal engine problem and they cannot fix it. I am having it looked at by another auto shop now to verify.

Dt: consumer stated he ended up stranded on the side of the road on July 4, 2005 for two hours because the 2. 7 liter engine in his car spun rod bearings. This was the first incident. He was climbing a hill going approx. 50 mph when the engine died. He dropped the oil pan and saw where the bearings had gone out. He hasn't talked to neither the dealer nor the manufacturer. The car has 85,000 miles on it. He has been on line and saw where people are having a sludge (buildup) problem similar to his problem. The consumer does have the old bearings and he is sure that is the problem.

Engine quit when I hit 97000 miles with no warning. Engine started ticking and it was all over. I had to replace the engine with a 3. 5 liter at my own expense.

Caller's car died on side street without warning. Car was towed. Dealer said the engine was shot, and it will have to be replaced. Dealer did not tell caller what happened to engine. Other dealerships have told her that car was a lemon. Manufacturer has not been contacted yet.

Consumer states: the engine has a design failure that causes oil to sludge up inside motor, temperature gauge spiked. Drove 2 miles to the dealer and lost all coolant.

While driving driver heard a ping noise, the timing chain broke. Owner had the vehicle towed to the dealer, and was informed that there was an excess of motor sludge at the base of the motor. Owner stated that the oil was changed on time, every time. Also, owner was informed that the valves were bent.

2001 Chrysler Concorde. Engine cut out while driving on a busy road with no warning! car had to be towed to Chrysler dealer. Chrysler service manager suggested a jasper motor ($7270. 54) because the Chrysler 2. 7 liter engine that came with the car was known to seize with sludge at 50,000 miles. Chrysler has not amended the current sludge problems with their 2. 7 liter engine. They have not recalled the flawed 2. 7 liter engine even though it was a safety hazard. Daimler Chrysler did , however extend the warranty on their mercedes cars for engine sludge, and paid for engine replacements on mercedes with sludge engines.

2001 Chrysler Concorde developed a rattle in the engine. ** answer required***. The consumer was informed the engine was full of sludge and needed to be replaced.

Timing chain broke on 2. 7l Chrysler mitsibushi engine in 2001 Concorde at only 69,700 miles. This caused sever engine damage including bent valves and broken heads.

Timing chain failed. Chrysler did nothing. No liability at 37,000 miles (1,000 out of lease warranty).

Engine started knocking,returned 1/4 mile to repair shop, engine blown after 2nd start at repair shop. Everyone I have talked to about this 2. 7l engine say that it is junk. This includes a person from a Chrysler dealership. Just look at the complaints on the internet for this engine.

2001 Chrysler Concorde with a blown engine due to sludge and no help what so ever from daimler Chrysler. Left with 2 years to pay and a car that doesn't run. The car has 48,000 miles and is still under warranty and Chrysler is refusing help to settle the incident. Chrysler is stating that the sludge in the engine is due to lack of maintenance by me which is not true. From what research I have done it seems that these engines are known for this problem and Chrysler is doing nothing to fix it or help it. There was no warning, no lights just a car dead in the middle of the street. Someone needs to take responsibility!!!.

When at a stop the vehicles rpm's would race at a high rate. The consumer shifted to neutral to decelerate. The dealership has been notified but the problem has not been resolved. Please provide any additional information.
