Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I had to fill my oil every week, my oil stick wasnt even reading the oil, thats how bad my leak was i then took it to an independent technician and told it was a head gasket problem. i then took it to another guy and was told there was a "silent recall" on head gaskets. my timing belt broke going 70mph on i-40 in the middle of nowhere at dusk in the tennessee/nc border. and b4 i left for the trip they told me it was ok to drive. had to pay 300$ towing bill cause it was "ok" to drive! i will never buy another dodge again...i understand there can be problems with any car...but when they charge us the consumer to fix there mistakes makes no sense at all.*ak
