Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE FROM WORK, OIL LIGHT COME ON. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER AND CHECKED THE OIL. THE LEVEL ON THE DIPSTICK WAS IN THE SAFE ZONE. I THEN HAD IT TOWED TO MY MECHANIC THAT TOLD METH THE MOTOR WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. I NEVER HAD ANY OTHER PROBLEMS WITH THE DURANGO UNTIL THEN. OIL WAS ALWAYS CHANGED AT 3,000 MILES. THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT THERE IS SLUDGE BUILD UP BECAUSE OF THE DESIGN/ANGLE OF THE PORTS THAT DOESN'T ALLOW THE OIL TO MOVE FREELY. APPARENTLY IS THIS AN ONGOING PROBLEM AND THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR THIS, NO ONE HAS THE MONEY TO PUT ALMOST $4,000 INANOTHER ENGINE. *TR
