THAT THERE ENGINE HAS A VERY POOR DESIGN THAT LEADS TO SLUDGE PULLING INTO THE ENGINE EVEN WITH REGULAR AND TIMELY OIL CHANGES. IT IS A PROBLEM OF THE ENGINEERING DESIGN OF THE ENGINE.

2000 CHRYSLER CONCORD - IN THE PAST 3 YEARS DOOR RELAYS (CONTROL LOCKS AND POWER WINDOWS) HAVE FAILED 4 TIMES IN MY CAR.
