Consumer Description

I AM IN SALES AND DRIVE EXTENSIVELY. BECAUSE OF THIS I AM VERY CAREFULL TO CHANGE MY OIL EVERY 3000 MILES. I CURRENTLY HAVE 91000 MILES ON MY CAR, IT IS DUE FOR AN OIL CHANGE IN ROUGHLY 700 MILES. WHILE DRIVING I NOTICED A FAINT TICKING SOUND AND ABOUT TWO MINUTES LATER T GOT VERY LOUD. I PULLED THE CAR OVER AND IT SHUT OFF. THE CAR DID NOT OVERHEAT, THE OIL LIGHT NEVER CAME ON. I HAD A RECOMENDATION TO A GOOD MECHANIC WHO TOWED IT AND FOUND THAT THE ENGINE HAD LESS THAN A QUART OF OIL IN IT. THERE WERE NO LEAKS, AND IT HAS NEVER SMOKED. IT HAS ALSO NEVER HEATED UP. MY ENGINE IS OUT OF WARRANTY, BUT I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY MY OIL CHANGE GUY, WHO HAS ALSO INSPECTED THE VEHICLE, THAT DODGE IS HAVING A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH THE 2.7L MOTOR. A LOCAL DEALER TOLD HIM THIS. AT ANY RATE, I HAVE A BLOWN MOTOR ON A CAR THAT IS 3 YEARS OLD, AND APPARENTLY NO RECOURSE. PLEASE HELP ME IF YOU CAN. DT
