Consumer Description

MY WIFE STARTED UP THE VEHICLE TO TAKE OUR KID TO SCHOOL. WHEN SHE STARTED IT, IT WAS MAKING A HORRIBLE CLUNKING NOISE AND VIBRATING VIGOROUSLY. SHE IMMEDIATELY KILLED IT AND TOLD ME WHAT HAPPENED WHEN I GOT HOME FROM WORK. I STARTED IT UP AND I IMMEDIATELY KNEW THAT THE ENGINE WAS GONE. THE NEXT MORNING I NOTICED AN OIL SHEEN ON THE GROUND IN FRONT OF THE DURANGO. I HAVE READ MANY THINGS ONLINE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND WOULD LIKE FOR DODGE TO FIX MY VEHICLE. I HAVE KEPT THE OIL CHANGED IN IT REGULARLY AND DONE ALL REQUIRED MAINTENANCE. I AM IN THE MILITARY AND NEED THIS VEHICLE FOR MY WIFE. I CANNOT AFFORD TO FIX THIS OUT OF POCKET. *TR
