problem #3

Dec 012020

200 S V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 75,000 miles

We are at 75,000 miles and we noticed an oil puddle in our garage. Within a week, the spot doubled in size. Our splash guard under the engine had a small tear in it last year and we now are realizing we have most likely had a small oil leak for much longer than anyone realized because we believe this small tear was due to the oil leaking unnoticed for so long.

We were told by a mechanic that our rear main seal needs to be replaced and only a dealer can/will fix it. We'll be without the car for about 4 days and its going to cost over $1500. From what other mechanics have told me, this usually doesn't happen until after 100,000 miles.

problem #2

200 Limited 2.4L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 6,000 miles

Annoying that it took 2 months to get part. If I had put the car in the shop that day, Chrysler would have had to buy back the car after 30 days.

problem #1

Jul 292015

200 Limited 4 cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 8,090 miles

While investigating the transmission leak, I noticed a lot of oil on the front passenger side of engine.

I traced the leak to the seam of the front timing cover, block, and head. It was made obvious this area is trouble. There is a factory mark (blue stripe) sort of pointing to the area of trouble. In this area Chrysler decided to use red RTV silicone, poorly applied. To repair this oil leak properly, The engine needs torn down and real gaskets used.

The quality of the castings of the engine and transmission are horrible. In 40 years of wrenching on cars for a hobby, I have never seem such poor quality castings. So bad Chrysler had to use silicone and it still leaks oil.
