Description of the problem	While driving the vehicle to college it just quit on me. It would not start again. I had it towed to the dealership where purchased and it is still under warranty. The next day they called and told me there was sludge build up in the engine and that it was locked up. They took a oil analysis test and said that we were liable for the damage caused by not having recommended oil changes. I have receipts showing oil changes but i was denied by chrysler any work done on it. In my experiance of having been around a mechanic the only way an engine locks up is if there are defects in the engine or there is no oil in the engine. There was oil in my engine and there are only 35,800 miles on my truck. Now i am stuck with a truck still making payments on it and i have to replace my engine myself at my cost because chrysler doesnt want to fix it. I looked on the net and also found another person on there who has filed a complaint saying there was gunk build up. That odi number is 8015189. If there are any others out there please let me know. I would like to have the problem taken care of before i have to pay out of my pocket for something that the dealership or chrysler should have to fix because it is still under warranty.*ak
