| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Our 2001 dodge durango made a strange knocking noise in the engine and suddenly lost oil pressure. the engine then seized up and we are now told we need a new engine in the vehicle. we were told by the dealership that the cause was excessive sludge in the engine. we have done regular oil changes and routine maintenance on the vehicle. the durango has only 80,00 miles on it. we have a 1993 chevrolet truck which has 183,000 miles on it . we have also done routine maintenance and regular oil changes on it and it is still running well. we also have a 1993 jeep wrangler which has 170,000 miles on it. it is also running well. we are suspect that there must be a major flaw in the design of the dodge durango engine as we have since heard of similar stories from many other dodge durango owners. *jb |
