I have a 2007 chrysler 300 and I've had it for a little over a year. I admit I do drive frequently but I keep my vehicles in great condition. I have 52,000 miles on my car and my engine has gone out. How it happened I believe it had to be a lemon from the start,sad to say I don't want to pay for a new engine and I don't have an extended warranty .I wonder what possibly can I have done about this.
