WHILE DRIVING DOWN INTERSTATE ON THE WAY TO WORK, OIL PRESSURE GOES TO 0 AND TRUCK STALLED. GOT TRUCK TOWED TO SHOP AND WAS INFORMED BY SHOP THAT THE ENGINE HAD SEIZED UP.

THIS IS THE FIRST AND ONLY PROBLEM WE HAVE EVER HAD WITH THIS TRUCK AND NOW I SEARCH THE INTERNET AND FIND HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE THIS HAS HAPPENED TO AND THAT THE COMPANY DOES NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR ENGINES AND DOESN'T ADMIT THERE IS ANY PROBLEMS.

MY HUSBAND AND I WERE DRIVING DOWN I-71 AND THE CHECK GUAGES LIGHT CAME ON AND THE OIL PRESSURE HAD DROPPED TO 0 CAUSING ENGINE FAILURE DUE TO A CLOGGED OIL PUMP INTAKE SCREEN. WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS DUE TO IMPROPER MAINTENANCE ALTHOUGH OIL WAS CHANGED IN A TIMELY MANNER. HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP WHERE THE OIL PAN WAS TAKEN OFF AND ENGINE COMPONENTS AND METAL SHAVINGS WERE FOUND. THE SERVICE ADVISOR HIMSELF TOLD US THAT HE COULD NOT SAY FOR SURE THAT THE PROBLEM WAS IMPROPER MAINTENANCE. HE ALSO MAINTAINED THAT IF WE HAD A CHRYSTLER INSPECTOR COME IN WE WOULD END UP PAYING FOR A NEW ENGINE.
