Loud Engine Noise Problems of Dodge Intrepid - part 2

Engine began making loud noises, took to wildle Dodge Chrysler who informed me that the engine is knocking, sludge, noisy, and that I need a new engine. At 77,620 miles, and still owing $4300 in the vehicle, I did not feel I should have to spend $5000 for a new engine. When we called the manufacturer, they stated that I did not regularly change my oil causing my own problem. I was very frustrated at that accusation since we did change the oil regularly, we just didn't have all the receipts to prove it. I don't understand how Chrysler can get away with this since there are over 400 customers that this happened to. They should be ashamed.
