Charger SE 2.7L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 48,414 miles

I bought my Charger in November, 2007. I unfortunately didn't do any research on the 2.7 Liter or else I would have never bought the car. I have been working on cars since 1980 with my father. I have gone thru vocational automotive classes and received certifications in auto mechanics. I changed my oil regularly as scheduled and even used full synthetic oils, upgraded oil filters, etc... I had just left my house on my commute to work. I was about 3 miles into my drive and the oil light came on and then after about 10 seconds it turned off. About 3 minutes later it came on again and a puff off white smoke blew out from under my hood and the car quit. I pulled over to find that all the oil had leaked out of the engine. It was all over the top of the engine and down the passenger side of my car. I had the car towed to Larry Miller Dodge where it was inspected by a independent contracted inspector hired by Quality Plus warranty. They had determined there was a failure with the oil filter seal. So they have denied my claim to fix the vehicle. I have read thru the warranty and there is nothing specific that says that the oil filter is not covered. It does say that all gaskets and seals are covered. They are basically blaming the oil filter seal on me. As much research as I have done now it's surprising to me that Diamler Chrysler/Dodge is still in business with all the predatory practices they adhere themselves to. All I want is my car fixed under the warranty. If not, then after I do get my car fixed I will do whatever I have to to get out from under my Charger and get a different car from a different manufacturer other than Dodge or Chrysler. At that point they can kiss my you know what. Thanks for listening. Have a nice day.
