2 Engine Burning Oil problem

Failure Date: 02/04/2008

I brought my 2005 Pacifica in for the engine light coming on to the dealership where I bought it (ancira). They cleared the memory and gave it back, it immediately came back on when I picked it up so I left it. They did some things to the engine to fix it. The engine began burning oil after ancira dealership serviced it for engine light problems. I brought it to boerne Chrysler superstore because I did not appreciate how I was treated at the ancira dealership. The engine was replaced at the boerne Chrysler superstore but now leaks oil. I would like Chrysler to buy this vehicle back because it has done nothing but cause us problems. I am surprised I was not stranded for it burning oil. I have 2 small children and the thought of it possibly leaving us stranded is frustrating. We purchased a new vehicle with the expectation of not having these serious engine issues. The least Chrysler could do is reimburse us the $100 copay because it is under the extended warranty now even though the engine problems were occurring under the beginning full coverage warranty. We have purchased two Dodge trucks and this vehicle and all of them have had to be serviced before 40,000 miles. We have lost faith in Chrysler/Dodge and will no longer consider purchasing one.

3 Engine Burning Oil problem

Failure Date: 01/24/2008

I purchased a 2005 Chrysler Pacifica in michigan in 2006 and imported into canada. The vehicle has 31,000 miles on it and the engine is burning oil rapidly. I noticed a noise coming from the engine and found the oil level to virtually not appear on the dipstick. The check oil light never came on. This could have led to the failure of my motor while I was driving. I have also had a cylinder misfire and spark plugs replaced due to this.
