Consumer Description

SLUDGE BUILD UP IN THE ENGINE, THERE IS COOLANT LIKE INTO THE OIL LINE. WHICH HAS MADE THE OIL SPIT OUT FROM UNDER THE HEAD GASKET AND SPIT OUT ON TOP OF THE MOTOR COVER. THE WATER PUMP AND TIME CHANGE NEEDS TO BE REPLACE WHEN THEY NOTICE THE SLUDGE IN THE OIL PAN OF THE CAR. THEY IN TURN TOOK OF THE TOP OF THE ENGINE AND THE SLUDGE WAS JUST THICK AND GRITTY. I WAS TOLD BY A CHRYSLER TECHNICIAN THAT CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM WITH THE 2.7 LITER ENGINES. *NM
