MY ENGINE DIED WITH 44,000 MILES DUE TO SLUDGE BUILD-UP DEALERSHIP SAYS I DID'NT CHANGE MY OIL BUT I DID AND I HAVE RECIEPTS. I HAVE ALL MY PAPER WORK WHERE I TOOK IT IN FOR REPAIRS FOR THE GUAGES GOING OFF AND OIL PRESSURE DROPPING, HAVING TO PUT 2 QTS OF OIL EVERY 200 MILES, KNOCKING IN MOTOR, AND NOW MY WARRANTY IS OUT I HAVE A BLOWN ENGINE. DEALERSHIP REFUSES TO ACCEPT ANY RESPONSIBILITY. MY POWER WINDOWS AND QUIT WORKING IN THE SUMMER COULD NOT ROLL DOWN WINDOWS AND THE AIR CONDITION WAS NOT BLOWING OUT COLD AIR . GAS TANK STRAP BROKE WITH A FULL TANK OF GAS & WAS BEING HELD ON WITH ONLY 1 STRAP, GAS TANK WAS HANGING DOWN. I HAVE SEVERAL MORE MINOR GRIPES BUT THE MAIN THING NOW IS THE ENGINE. I HAVE READ OVER SOME CONSUMER COMPLAINTS WEB SITES AND IT SEEMS I'M NOT THE ONLY PERSON HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. DT

WHEN IT PROBABLY SHOULDN'T HAVE NEEDED TO, THERE SEEMS TO BE A DEFINITE PROBLEM WITH THIS YEAR AND TYPE OF TRUCK DUE TO ALL THE INFORMATION FOUND ON THE INTERNET, DODGE/CHRYSLER SHOULD OWN UP TO THEIR REPUTATION AND COME CLEAN, I WILL NEVER BUY ANYTHING THAT HAS TO DO WITH THIS COMPANY EVER AGAIN. I WAS DRIVING HOME WITH MY DAUGHTER ON THE TURNPIKE, THE OIL GAUGE KEPT DROPPING BACK AND FORTH THEN ALL THIS TAPPING AND LOUD NOISES FROM THE ENGINE, I PULLED OVER AND HAD TO BE TOWED HOME AND WAS TOLD I NEEDED A NEW ENGINE, YOU COULD SEE A HOLE, I GOT NO SATISFACTION FROM THE DEALER OR FROM THE ZONE REPRESENTATIVE, SHE PARROTED THE DEALER AND DUE TO MY FINANCIAL STATUS AT THIS TIME I CANNOT AFFORD NOR DO I BELIEVE I SHOULD HAVE TO PUT OUT A CENT. THIS VEHICLE DEFINITELY NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED I BELIEVE IT TO BE A LEMON OF A VEHICLE. DT

#769179November 1, 2002
ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE
FORTUNATELY THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT. I ATTRIBUTE THAT TO USING SYNTHETIC OIL INSTEAD OF REGULAR OIL. THE OIL PRESSURE GUAGE DROPPED TO 0 THEN WOULD GO BACK TO NORMAL. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. I HOPE I GOT IT INTO THE DEALER IN TIME. THE DEALER THINKS I DID. THE DEALER CLAIMS THE PROBLEM IS SLUDGE CAUSED BY TOO INFREQUENT OIL CHANGES. I CHANGED THE OIL WITHIN THE GUIDELINES LISTED IN THE OWNERS MANUAL. PLUS, SYNTHETIC OILS ARE NOT SUBJECT TO THE SAME SLUDGE PROBLEMS AS REGULAR OILS ARE. DEALER DROPPED THE PAN, REPLACE THE SCREEN AND OIL PUMP AND CLEANED AS BEST THEY COULD. COST $809. THIS IS THE FIRST VEHICLE I'VE OWNED (33 YEARS) THAT HAS EVER HAD A SLUDGE PROBLEM. THERE HAS TO BE SOMETHING IN THE DESIGN OF THE ENGINE THAT CONTRIBUTES TO THIS PROBLEM. DT
