At about mileage 62400 my engine fail. I come to find out pricing to repair the engine. My car engine is know to go out (2. 7l). From what I understood when built the oil pump wasn't big enough to circulate the oil and cause a sludge built up. I was driving back to work when my went out and was with out my car for an month.

After the consumer changed the oil, the engine light illuminated the dash board. A little while later, the light was on and off, suddenly the engine stalled and never started again. An independent mechanic indicated to the consumer that 2. 5 engine was garbage, and needed to be replaced. The consumer believed the problem was a bad oil pump.

Without warning on early Monday morning around 12:15 am on the new jersey turnpike between exits 1 and 2, my family was driving from mayrland back to new york, my 1999 Chrysler Concorde lxi made a loud banging noise under the hood along with smoke and all the lights came on the car. The engine just stopped; I swerved and pulled along the shoulder. There was oil everywhere on the ground. When oil was poured into the car, it came right out. So, my car had to be towed to brooklyn, which costs $445. Luckily my in-laws live near by so my son and wife were able to stay there for the night. My mechanic inspected the car and said that his whole fist can fit in the engine block. He said that it was caused by internal damages and a bad oil pump. My car only has 63,000 miles and is only 5 years old. Now, I need to replace my engine and the part alone will cost me $2,200.

I was hoping you could give me information about a possible class action lawsuit concerning Chryslers 2. 7 engibne. I have a 1999 Chrysler Concorde. July 30th, 2004 my car started making a horrible noise and stopped running as I rolled into my mechanics place of business. He was able to listen to it and immediately told me of the problems he has seen with this engine and thought there might be a silent recall, I should take it to a Chrysler dealership. I had it towed to the dealership, where they diagnosed a bad timing chain. After researching this I didn't feel that it was my responsibility and contacted Chrysler customer relations. After several calls, they finally agreed to pay for only the parts, I was responsilble for labor. By the way, my car has approx. 44,000 miles. After replacing the timing chain, I called to see when my car would be ready and I was told that the engine is still making noise. The short block and oil pump was gone, therefore, I needed to replace the engine at my cost of $5,500. I reminded them of the 2. 7 engine problems, which fell on deaf ears. Customer relations are of no help either, they claim that the timing chain didn't cause engine failure, but the oil pump did. They will not assist with any of the charges. I asked them to not fix it because I am trying to get help with this. I have requested a service rep. To assist with this matter. Chrysler also requested to see if I had neglected the car before paying for parts on the timing chain. They found no evidence of sludge or abuse. Just like everyone else, I am extremely upset about this matter. I purchased the car with the intent of it lasting longer than it has, especially with such low mileage! I would appreciate it if you could contact me with any information.

Engine started making loud knocking noise. Pulled off of highway at next exit, drove into parking lot and stopped vehicle. Had vehicle towed to dealer and was informed that the engine needed replacement due to oil starvation. Dealer could not explain cause of starvation, as oil levels were normal, oil pump was functioning and oil was clean. Dealer could also not explain lack of telltale warning lights for oil pressure, etc. Prior to event occurring. Estimated cost of repair $5,000. This is apparently not an uncommon problem. Have reported to Chrysler although car no longer under warranty. Am awaiting response.

Knocking sound from engine. Dealership said that oil pump failed, destroying engine. Zone manager refuses to pay for new engine. Agrees to only pay half. All recommended service has been done at all recommended intervals. Automobile has been extremely well taken care of.

On Jan 25, 1999 transmission went out. Did not get out of low gear when it happened. Did not have any reverse. The rpms went up to 5,000 just to go 30mph. Put a strain on engine. Vehicle would race. This also happened on 13 oct 99. Took vehicle to dealer & mechanic indicated transmission needed seals/packaged transaxle, torque convertor/ transmission/oil pump & input clutch replaced.
