Example complaints

“Oil light came on, limped home and towed it to the garage. They dropped the pan and said the engine needed to be replaced. $4, later we had a new engine. When I went into the shop to see the one they removed it was coated in sludge. Now that I had seen all other similar complaints I wonder if Dodge was doing anything about he problem. We all want our money back.”
