Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Loss of oil pressure due to sludge caused the engine to seize. vehicle was well maintained, which luckily i have all the documentation. trusted mechanic stated that this is not the first time he has heard of this problem and that this is a common problem with this type of engine, as there is a design flaw which does not allow oil to flow properly to all parts of engine. he stated that it would be better to put in a new engine as the repair to the existing engine would be extensive. i called dodge and they will not do anything about the problem. *nm
