“I noticed after my vehicle warmed up a smell of burning oil from time to time when I would come to a stop. Some times smoke would bellow out from under the car at a stop. On 7/14/2001 it did it again, so I decided to take it to my local Dodge dealer since the oil leak could potentally start a fire since it was obviously dripping on to my exhaust system. On 7/16/2001 I was contacted by the dealership(I purchased the car from an individual) and told the head gasket was blown out and pumping oil down on my exhaust. …”
NHTSA complaint #748553, filed 2001-07“4mths after purchase, the car stalled (without warning) I replaced the computer, & distributor. The car still stalls without warning, also won't start for a day or two, then starts and runs ok. Engine runs rough. Engine lights don't come on to warn of a problem. When it rains, the car will stall while driving. Will not start when raining.”
