The engine locked up on me while driving. The oil pressure light came on and before I had the chance to pull over the engine locked up. According to the owner's manual the warning light will come on for 4 minutes then go off. My engine locked up before the warning signal went off indicating that I had less than 4 minutes to respond. Daimler Chrysler has agreed to pay one half of the repairs costs, however, I feel that the oil screen in the oil pan became clogged as a result of mechanical failure. I have maintained my vehicle according to the owners manual. I feel that this engine design is defective and would like for daimler Chrysler to stand behind thier product by completely paying for the new engine that I had to have. I firmly believe that a 1997 Plymouth Voyager with only 53,865 miles should not need a new engine, when the van has been properly driven and maintained.
