Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: While driving down highway, the oil warning light came on. immediately we pulled over and checked oil, which was fine. we started the car and began driving. while driving, the engine began to make a clicking noise. immediately, i pulled over again and had to have the car towed to a dodge dealership. i was told by the dodge service department that the engine failure was due to sludge in the oil that blocked the screen to the oil pump. we would require a new engine. dodge has denied our power train warranty due to the sludge. *jb |
