Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I own a 2000 dodge durango. i change my oil every 3,000 miles. today my mechanic and i found a heavy amount of sludge under oil cap and all around filler neck. this indicates that there is a huge build up of sludge in the engine. this will ultimately lead to engine failure very soon. internet searches reveal this is a very common problem and chrysler has done nothing about it. my durango has 56,000 miles on it and i am afraid to drive it. *nm
