Consumer Description

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND DEALERSHIP STATED THAT IT WAS A SENSOR AND REPLACED IT...THAT WAS APPROXIMATELY 1 YEAR AGO. KNOCKING SOUND STARTED A COUPLE WEEKS AGO AND THEN CAR ENGINE DIED IN TRAFFIC 2 TIMES. GOT THE ENGINE RESTARTED AND THEN THE OIL LIGHT CAME ON AND ENGINE DIED FOR GOOD. TOOK IT TO ONE SHOP WHO STATED THAT IT WAS A TIMING BELT AND WOULD NOT WORK ON IT. HAD IT TOWED TO DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT IT NEEDED A NEW ENGINE TO THE TUNE OF $6,500.00. STATED THAT IT WAS BECAUSE OF SLUDGE BUILD UP AND NOT CHANGING OIL REGULARLY. CAR WAS SERVICED EVERY 2 TO 3K MILES FOR OIL CHANGES. CAR WAS TAKEN CARE OF AND YET DIES @ 50,000. MILES? THE GOVERNMENT NEEDS TO FORCE DODGE TO OWN UP TO THE FAILURES AND BUY US CONSUMERS NEW ENGINES THAT WILL LAST LONGER THAN 50,000. MILES! I STILL OWE $8,000. ON THIS VEHICLE! *JB
