Dt*: the contact stated black smoke came out of the exhaust and the engine stalled completely when startup was attempted. The vehicle was taken to a service dealer who determined that there was sludge in the timing chain and the engine needed to be replaced.

Dt*: the contact stated while driving at 40 MPH all power to the vehicle diminished and the vehicle stalled. The vehicle was towed to an independent service station, where it was determined the timing belt failed and seized the engine which made a repair impossible. The diagnosis was confirmed with a second opinion from another independent service station. Updated 08/02/06.

I purchased my car in oct. 2004, with around 32,000 miles on it. May, 2005 ( with 54,000 miles) my engine gave up on me. I was driving highway speed on my way to work when my engine light popped on, two minutes later my engine stalled in the middle of traffic. I was able to restart my engine after about 15 min later. I had my vehicle towed to the nearest chrysler dealer, I was told that I had low oil, resulting in sludge build up. I'd just received an a oil change on april 22, 2005. The dealership told me to see a salesman and purchase a new vehicle. I questioned him by asking how to fix my car , he said to purchase a new engine. I had my vehicle towed to 4 other dealerships and mechanics, they all said that I have some type of internal engine malfunction that can not be fixed. I contacted daimler , I was told that I was out of warranty, and they could not help me. Mean while, I have been paying on a vehicle that does not work, I have been missing work due to not having transportation, and I just got my vehicle eight months prior to failure, so I still owe more that four years on my car. Please enlighten me on what to do. I understand that there is a problem that needs to be addressed on behalf of daimler, why is there nothing being done about it?

While driving on a side street at 25 MPH vehicle stalled. There was noise under the hood a couple of hours prior to stalling. After being towed to a mechanic then a dealer, consumer was informed that the engine was shot, and there was not point in replacing the engine. Dealership arrived at this conclusion without taking the engine apart, leading the consumer to believe that this was a common problem with these engines.
