About These NHTSA Complaints:
The NHTSA is the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints can be spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem. See the Back button — blue bar at the very top of the page — to explore more.
Bought a used 2004 Chrysler Sebring touring. Noticed 1000kms later that the engine sounded rough. Saw the oil was black. Took the car for an oil change. Car was fine for awhile. About 1000km later problems arose. Yet another oil change was need for black oil. This continued for months. I was just about to make the switch to synthetic oil when my car gave out on me. Mechanic said he thought exhaust was getting into the engine B/C of poor internals, said his cousin had the same problem. P.S. car gave out on the 401 thank god it was 1 am!
