Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: 99 dodge durango engine failure due to sludge build up. 67k miles - low oil pressure checked 6 mos ago - dealer found leak only - then engine blew this week - dealer should have advised this was a recurring probem with the dodge engines and maybe we could have had the sludge build up removed before the engine blew. now it will cost $5,000 to replace engine. is there a class action suit we can join? this is deceitful, dishonest, and a travisity on chrysler's behalf - unless of course they will help with the repair cost of the new engine! please advise. thanks.
