While driving my car started making a grinding noise, so I pulled over. Had a tow truck take the car to the dealership, falls Dodge. Dealer stated engine had deep engine problem due to oil sludge. Only resolution was to replace engine. Cost of new engine $7800. Plus labor. Had car towed back home as repair bill was not feaxible, due to downsizing, loss of job. Needed car for interviews and job if found. Searched for used engine. None found. Contacted mechanic in tallmadge who said he could help. Found engine, used, at cost of $3800 plus repairs. Took 4 months. Need car for employment. Having engine replaced with no guarantee that it will last as these 2. 7 l engines are prone to failure. Found many many many complaints and frustrations over these engines on the net. Need help as Chrysler is stating engine sludge my fault even though I followed their manual. No one from daimler-Chrysler will admit any problem exits nor offer any resolution. This has caused numerous financial, mental, and physical stress.
