I checked my oil before leaving on a 3 hr trip this past weekend, because I notice that centripetal force was causing my oil light light to ding. I figured it may need to be topped off. I checked it 3 times to be sure, and the dipstick showed I was at the max fill line. when the engine had overdrive engaged, it suddenly disengaged, losing all power. I pulled over to the side of the road when the vehicle shut off. Attempts to restart sounded as if the engine was seized up. I tried to roll it to disengage, no joy. Had it towed to my local chrysler dealershipt (110 miles) and they told me the engine was bone dry. Can I suspect this to be an issue with oil sludge, as previously reported with the 2.7 liter engines?

Air conditioning problem a/c was blowing hot air took to repair shop. The mechanic wanted me to know that the a/c hose discharge line was a manufacturer defect. Why because there are two hoses that form an x, and at the point where they intersect (the metal bands) are rubbing together from vibration of the car. I did ask the mechanic if anything else (e.g. Car accident, rough roads) could have caused it and he said no. I also asked if the intersection of the hoses could be fixed by moving them so they don't rub together and he said no. It really IS a manufacturing defect. *tr
