Consumer Description

LOSS OF OIL PRESSURE DUE TO SLUDGE CAUSED THE ENGINE TO SEIZE. VEHICLE WAS WELL MAINTAINED, WHICH LUCKILY I HAVE ALL THE DOCUMENTATION. TRUSTED MECHANIC STATED THAT THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME HE HAS HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM AND THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS TYPE OF ENGINE, AS THERE IS A DESIGN FLAW WHICH DOES NOT ALLOW OIL TO FLOW PROPERLY TO ALL PARTS OF ENGINE. HE STATED THAT IT WOULD BE BETTER TO PUT IN A NEW ENGINE AS THE REPAIR TO THE EXISTING ENGINE WOULD BE EXTENSIVE. I CALLED DODGE AND THEY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE PROBLEM. *NM
