Consumer Description

COMPLETE ENGINE FAILURE AT 78, 895 MILES DUE TO OIL SLUDGE BUILD UP (DECEMBER 2004). HAD A REMANUFACTURED ENGINE PUT IN 2/21/2006 WHEN I COULD FINALLY AFFORD IT AND CHRYSLER WOULD DO NOTHING ABOUT IT. I USED ONLY SYNTHETIC OIL IN THE REPLACEMENT ENGINE AND HAD IT CHANGED EVERY 3000 MILES AND YESTERDAY (9-1-2008), IT STARTED MAKING A FUNNY NOISE. I HAD IT TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP TODAY TO BE SAFE, AND THE VERDICT IS I NEED A NEW ENGINE - AGAIN DUE TO OIL SLUDGE. *TR
