Consumer Description

OIL LIGHT CAME ON AS WIFE WAS DRIVING HOME FROM CHURCH. SHE STOPPED, CHECKED THE OIL LEVEL(IN THE ACCEPTABLE RANGE ON DIPSTICK) AND CALLED ME. I HAD A FRIEND TOW ME TO MY HOUSE. TOOK THE CAR IN TO OUR LOCAL DODGE DEALER WHO TOLD ME THAT THE ENGINE WAS SLUDGED AND THAT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY WOULD NOT COVER. HE FIRST TOLD ME THAT THEY COULD DO AN ENGINE FLUSH, THE SECOND CALL WAS THAT HE COULD NOT FLUSH THE ENGINE AS IT IS ABOUT TO TOTALLY GO OUT. I HAVE RECEIPTS FOR OIL AND FILTERS AND WHEN I INSTALLED THEM. I BOUGHT THE CAR USED WITH UNDER 40,000 MILES AND HAVE DROVE APPROXIMATELY 10,000 SINCE.*AK
