Consumer Description

THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT THE ENGINE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. SLUDGE ON THE PICK UP TUBE CLOCKED THE SCREEN AND THE ENGINE SEIZED. ALWAYS HAD THE OIL AND FILTER CHANGED EVERY 3000 MILES. NEVER HERD OF HAVING TO DROP THE PAN AND CLEAN A PICK UP TUBE WHEN DOING A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE. OWNED LOTS OF CARS IN THE 30 YEARS I BEEN DRIVING AND NEVER EXPERIENCE THIS. CAR HAS BEEN SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY FOR OVER A YEAR AND I STILL HAVE TO MAKE PAYMENTS EVERY MONTH. DON'T HAVE THE MONEY FOR A NEW ENGINE. THANKS DODGE. I WILL NEVER EVER BUY A DODGE AGAIN. PIECE OF CRAP ENGINE. *TR
