| 2005 | POWER TRAIN | SIX MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING A USED CHRYSLER SEBRING 2005 FROM A LOCAL DEALERSHIP, A LARGE STREAM OF OIL BEGAN (AND CONTINUED) TO POUR OUT OF THE DRIVE SHAFT SEAL WHEN THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO A SERVICE CENTER WHERE THE PROBLEM WAS DIAGNOSED AS A BAD DRIVE SHAFT THAT HAD RUINED THE ENGINE BLOCK AND DRIVE SHAFT SEAL. THE ONLY FIX THEY OFFERED WAS AN ENGINE REPLACEMENT (WHICH WOULD COST MORE THAN THE ORIGINAL COST OF THE VEHICLE). *TR |
