I bought a used 1998 chrysler concorde in the spring of 2008. Three weeks after I bought the car the oil light turned on, I thought nothing of it, though I gave the car an oil change. Roughly 5 days after giving the car an oil change I drove it around for the day and the oil light came on again, but this time when I shut the car off it wouldn't start again. When I did get the car to start I took it to harmon's expert auto to see what was wrong with it. I was then informed the car's oil portals were clogged due to oil sludge. The recommended fix was a new engine. I was told the car had only 15 pounds of oil pressure and that eventually the motor will blow due to the oil sludge. Lastly I was informed that they see this problem all the time with the 2.7l engine in the chrysler concordes, and that they can't understand why chrysler will do nothing about it. Neither can I.

Engine failure, regular oil changes well maintained. Car was running fine driving on way home from work in heavy traffic,then oil light came on car shut off would not start back up. Had to have police come help with traffic and have help getting it off road . Towed home got it started back up sounded like a bunch of metal in a blender. Drained oil out of car was pureed metal. Total engine lose, no shop would repair, said the engine was not worth fixing, not even worth putting new engine in the car. Every place I talked to said same thing that the 2.7 engine in the 98 concord was faulty and junk.
