NHTSA Complaint #10270126 — 2007 DODGE CHARGER

I HAD JUST LEFT MY RESIDENCE TO TRAVEL TO WORK IN MY 2007 DODGE CHARGER, 2.7L V6, I HAD MADE IT 6 MILES AWAY FROM MY HOUSE WHEN MY ENGINE BLEW. THE TEMP GAGE NEVER SHOWED THERE WAS ANY KIND OF OVERHEATING PROBLEM. THE CHECK OIL LIGHT CAME ON FOR A FEW SECONDS AND TURNED OFF. A FEW MINUTES LATER IT CAME ON AGAIN AND PUFF OF WHITE SMOKE CAME OUT FROM UNDER THE HOOD AND THE MOTOR SEIZED. FROM THE RESEARCH I HAVE DONE ON THE INTERNET I HAVE FOUND THAT THE 2.7 LITER DODGE/CHRYSLER MOTOR HAS HAD A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH OIL SLUDGE ISSUES THAT WOULD CAUSE THE ENGINE TO SEIZE. SO FAR CHRYSLER HAS NOT TAKEN ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS MAJOR PROBLEM WITH THE 2.7L ENGINE. THE BOTTOM END OF THE MOTOR HAS TO BE REBUILT OR REPLACED TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. AT THIS POINT THE WARRANTY COMPANY IS BLAMING ME FOR THE MECHANICAL FAILURE OF THE OIL FILTER SEAL ON THE ENGINE. *TR
