Very fortunate this happened as we were pulling into the garage. Suddenly sounded like someone under the hood hitting the engine block with a hammer. Now have to have a re-manufactured engine installed on a car with only 65k miles. Cant afford not to, cant scrap the vehicle with this low of miles. Ridiculous after what all I have read about the 2. 7l engine since then. I personally changed oil well under manufacturer recommendations, using synthetic most of its life.
The contact owns a 2001 Dodge Stratus. While driving approximately 60 mph, the engine stalled without warning. The vehicle was towed to a local mechanic shop and, upon further inspection, the contact noticed that the push rod punctured a hole through the oil pan. The engine size was 2. 7l with six cylinders. The cause of the failure was unknown. The failure mileage was 120,800 and current mileage was 121,000.
While driving at any speed engine will stall out, when taken foot off pedal can feel engine trying to die out, consumer has to keep foot on accelerater to avoid vehicle from shutting off. Contacted dealer, and dealer could not recreate problem to fix it. Consumer stated vehicle has been to the dealer 2 more times.
Engine stalls out after filling gas tank while facing south or west. Recall done on travel module Nov 2000. Did not fix problem. Replace travel and engine modules as well as fuel pump. I have filed lemon law.
