Consumer Description

I OWN A 2000 DODGE DURANGO. I CHANGE MY OIL EVERY 3,000 MILES. TODAY MY MECHANIC AND I FOUND A HEAVY AMOUNT OF SLUDGE UNDER OIL CAP AND ALL AROUND FILLER NECK. THIS INDICATES THAT THERE IS A HUGE BUILD UP OF SLUDGE IN THE ENGINE. THIS WILL ULTIMATELY LEAD TO ENGINE FAILURE VERY SOON. INTERNET SEARCHES REVEAL THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AND CHRYSLER HAS DONE NOTHING ABOUT IT. MY DURANGO HAS 56,000 MILES ON IT AND I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. *NM
