Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I purchased my car in oct. 2004, with around 32,000 miles on it. may, 2005 ( with 54,000 miles) my engine gave up on me. i was driving highway speed on my way to work when my engine light popped on, two minutes later my engine stalled in the middle of traffic. i was able to restart my engine after about 15 min later. i had my vehicle towed to the nearest chrysler dealer, i was told that i had low oil, resulting in sludge build up. i'd just received an a oil change on april 22, 2005. the dealership told me to see a salesman and purchase a new vehicle. i questioned him by asking how to fix my car , he said to purchase a new engine. i had my vehicle towed to 4 other dealerships and mechanics, they all said that i have some type of internal engine malfunction that can not be fixed. i contacted daimler , i was told that i was out of warranty, and they could not help me. mean while, i have been paying on a vehicle that does not work, i have been missing work due to not having transportation, and i just got my vehicle eight months prior to failure, so i still owe more that four years on my car. please enlighten me on what to do. i understand that there is a problem that needs to be addressed on behalf of daimler, why is there nothing being done about it?*jb
