Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I bought my car (2002 dodge intrepid) in feb 2005. i had an oil change in apr 05, may 05, aug 05, and oct 05. the car broke down in durham nc on a trip that originated in acwoth ga. the car was taken to morgon dodge/ jeep of durham nc. the mechanic's diagnosis was engine failure due to sludge build-up in the engine. the mechanic stated that this only happens when a person doesn't have the oil changed. he further stated that the cause of the damage to my car was based on sludge build-up of over a year ago. i've only had the car for 7 months. i also have the oil change receipts for the above mentioned oil changes since i've had my car. *jb
