I have owned my 2001 Dodge Durango for 1 1/2 years now. I have taken it in religiously for all of its oil changes, services and even had the recalls taken care of. Now I have a ticking noise coming from the engine. I took it to the shop and they are saying it's because I have sludge in the engine and the lifters are clicking because they are dirty. They say I haven't changed the oil enough - BS! When I explained I have all of my receipts to prove my oil changes, they said it must be from the previous owner. Then why 1 1/2 years later a problem arises after I have taken such good care of the car? There is no way at only 40k miles I should be having this problem. I bought the car with 20k so how many oil changes could it have missed? I read the Dodge Intrepid has this exact same problem - now my fear is it's a DODGE thing! I don't know what to do now...
