| Description of the problem | While coming off the highway i noticed my engine make a 'clicking' noise, didn't soud too serious, but checked oil level and seemed to have been barely any oil in it. It was around scheduled oil change date, however took to a mechanic and he thought and assumed was the idler pulley and changed it. Drove it same night and was still making same noise. Took it back and he just spoke with a 'chrysler service personnel' and stated "chrysler had a bad engine casting for molding the engines and at high temperatures the engine itself will warp." so not sure if this is true, and i do not have the money to take to a dealership and confirm. |
