Consumer Description

WE BOUGHT A 2003 DODGE DURANGO ON JUNE 26, 2007. ON AUGUST 8, 2007 ALL OF A SUDDEN, WITH NO WARNING IT STARTED SOUNDING FUNNY, LIKE A DIESEL, A FEW MINUTES LATER THE OIL PRESSURE DROPPED TO ZERO AND JUST A FEW SECONDS AFTER THAT THE ENGINE LOCKED UP. WE WERE ON THE INTERSTATE ABUT 50 MILES FROM HOME WITH 2 CHILDREN. LUCKILY WE GOT A RIDE HOME AND HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED LATER ON THAT NIGHT. THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER A 7 YR./70,000 MILE WARRANTY, BUT DODGE DOESN'T WANT TO HONOR IT. WE HAD THE VEHICLE BARELY OVER A MONTH WHEN THIS HAPPENED. I HAD JUST GOTTEN IT REGISTERED AND TAGGED 5 DAYS BEFORE IT HAPPENED AND MADE THE FIRST PAYMENT 7 DAYS BEFORE IT HAPPENED. NOW WE DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. I HAVE READ HUNDREDS OF OTHER REPORTS EXACTLY LIKE OUR SITUATION. PLEASE DO SOMETHING AND MAKE DODGE ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THERE IS A HUGE PROBLEM WITH THEIR ENGINES!!! *TR
