2.7L help...please!!

I know that in 2001 they changed that motor to a more snotty version with a variable intake system............I had one in my Sebring Convert and it was a little beasty....BUT, I never ran across any inherent problems with that particular motor.............. I would check Chrysler for a possible recall.......

If nothing exists, the owner still has to prove some sort of negligence on your part to make this stick........The rear-end collision alone could have caused an inadvertent problem that spiraled to what has happened, but if it ran fine, there's no way you could have known such a thing.

If the owner ASKED you to deliver it to their home, then there is a possible precedent for your defense there as well. If you checked the oil at the shop BEFORE you drove the car, there's another point of defense.

I would also check with their Chrysler dealer, or do a Carfax on that car to see if there was a history of complaints or repairs done on the motor....It could have bee a pre-existing condition, and you were in the wrong place at the wrong time. If they had their car serviced at a local shop, they should have some records as a point of defense.......If they did NOT have the car serviced regularly, that's another point of defense.

Just stay calm and cool. Gather up all your facts as soon as possible.....the more info you gather, the better.......BUT, in my experience, this is just bogus unless they can prove negligence.......Like loaning someone your car with a worn tire, and then when they blow the tire, you sue them for a new tire........it's frivolous. :read2:
