Chrysler's 2.7 wasn't bad in just the 1990s - its entire life it was a failure - resulting in over 5 class action suits. I think they finally dropped it in 2010.
The engine ran too hot, small oil passages; a cheap water pump that leaked coolant into the oil and the killer was it was an interference engine.
