Replaced a cam sensor for $325 ran good for a week than a rod bearing broke. Dealership indicated oil sludge was found and the cause was user neglect. I had to produce oil receipts to their satisfaction. Called Chrysler HQ to complain and was told they backed the dealer.

Our transmission was rebuilt at 35,000 miles now they're telling us that our engine needs re-built because of oil sludge and its "not covered under warranty" unless I present oil change receipts. I've contacted an Ohio Lemon Law attorney.

Oil sludge was quickly noted by mechanic who attempted to sell a new engine. However, I opted for a cleaning in the amount of $1000. From a brief google search it appears that engine oil sludge is a real problem with chrysler. Chrysler's lack of attention to this matter will certainly have this consumer looking to another manufacturer for the next vehicle!

I can't believe that more owners of this car aren't speaking up... Intrepid owners and sebring owners stand-up for our rights. They know that the 2.7 litre engine has problems with oil sludge and if you do not have documented proof of each oil change you're screwed.

Like the others the dealer indicates that I have to show 5 consecutive oil reciepts that cover the recommended oil change. If you changed yourself your s. o. l. I contacted Chrysler's C/S department only to be told it was the dealers decision. when I asked to talk to a supervisor or manager I was refused that priviledge. It appears Chrylser is covering up a huge problem with the 2.7l engine.
