Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: We bought a 2003 dodge durango on june 26, 2007. on august 8, 2007 all of a sudden, with no warning it started sounding funny, like a diesel, a few minutes later the oil pressure dropped to zero and just a few seconds after that the engine locked up. we were on the interstate abut 50 miles from home with 2 children. luckily we got a ride home and had the vehicle towed later on that night. the vehicle was under a 7 yr./70,000 mile warranty, but dodge doesn't want to honor it. we had the vehicle barely over a month when this happened. i had just gotten it registered and tagged 5 days before it happened and made the first payment 7 days before it happened. now we don't know what to do. i have read hundreds of other reports exactly like our situation. please do something and make dodge acknowledge that there is a huge problem with their engines!!! *tr
