Dodge Engine Oil Sludge Lawsuits

Certain model year 1998 to 2002 Dodge Intrepid and Dodge Stratus vehicles contain defective Chrysler 2.7 liter V6 engines. These engines have a propensity to build up oil sludge, which could result in engine failure much earlier than would be expected.

STATUS OF DODGE ENGINE LAWSUITS: Chrysler has been denying warranty coverage for the 2.7 liter engine problems, forcing many vehicle owners to contact product liability lawyers to pursue Dodge engine lawsuits to recover the repair costs.

All federal Dodge engine failure class action lawsuits have been consolidated in an MDL in the District of New Jersey.

>>REVIEW A DODGE OIL SLUDGE LAWSUIT WITH A LAWYER<<

OVERVIEW: The Chrysler 2.7 liter engine used in Dodge Intrepid, Dodge Stratus as well as certain Chrysler vehicles, is defectively designed and could fail between 50,000 and 60,000 miles. In some cases, owners have reported catastrophic engine failure as early as 20,000.

Chrysler has been denying warranty coverage for the Dodge 2.7 liter engine failures, requiring owners to incur between $4,000 and $10,000 to repair or replace the engine.

DODGE ENGINE PROBLEMS: Chrysler designed the 2.7 liter V6 engines as a smaller engine with less oil capacity. This has caused the Dodge engine problems because oil sludge could develop if the oil is not replaced within a small margin of time.

Even when owners have regularly replaced their engine oil within the time frame outlined in the owners manual, there are still some who have had their engine seize suddenly when the vehicle still had well under 100,000 miles.

DODGE CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS: At least five state class action lawsuits over the Dodge engine oil sludge problems have been filed in various federal courts throughout the United States. In February 2009, all of the cases were consolidated in an MDL in the District of New Jersey.

The Dodge engine failure lawsuits allege that design defects in the 2.7 liter V6 engines make them prone to form oil sludge, which could result in catastrophic engine failure.

    My 2006 Chrysler Sebring has catastrophic engine failure due to the oil sludge I would like to fix it but I can't find a new engine.

  • DaronDecember 19, 2019 at 10:17 pm

    The engine is potentially blown due to water pump leaking into the timing belt compartment oil sludge and several oil leaks. Constantly over heating even after scheduled maintenance. Notice water mixed with oil.

    Years back, I had the engine of a Dodge Stratus ES start on fire while my son and I were driving down the road in it!! It was the only new car I've ever owned. We pulled over and got out before the car engulfed in flames. The fire department came and put it out. Total Loss. Had just paid it off and taken full coverage off it. Is there someone i should speak to to see if I qualify for the suit?

Note, he did tell me a week 1/2 in that it was an internal issue and nothing i did to cause it. anyways i ended getting fed and calling dodge myself. It took them 5 minutes to DENY the goodwill they had already said they were going to do. i then sat back and waited for the service manager to tell me himself. a week later of hearing nothing i texted him and asked if he heard anything, he said no he would call them first thing in the morning, and we played that game for another week. I finally got a a voicemail from service department saying he was told from the service manager (that i had been texting) to call me and see what i was going to do with the car, start the 9,000 dollar engine repair or if not they need me to come pick it up because in a week Dec. 1st they will have new ownership and will start charging storage... i went down there immediately and talked to them,and pay for the tear down and get my car out of there. service manager said ya dodge denied the goodwill I'm sorry i won't charge you for anything we did. my guy will get your paperwork and set up a tow. i was mad but atleast i didn't have to pay the 450.00.. well as i was about to sign the papers i was talking to this guy and found out they NEVER even did the tear down. DUDE!!! so i asked for my original paperwork that i signed when i brought my car in for the tear down and 450.00 cost. they could NOT provide it, they said they couldn't find it, it could filed away or even shredded because next weeks transition to new owners. i asked the service manager what was going this is nuts, the whole point was to figured out why my car seized up and how can you determine who's fault it is for seizure. how can i get denied if the reason why i brought my car in never even happened. i told them to put reason of seize on the paperwork and they put in a possible cause. i said no no this isn't expectable but by that time service manager dissapered and was not reachable. i said to put in the paperwork that the original tear down i signed is now lost. he hand wrote original WO (work order) is not attainable due to transition of ownership. i said that still doesn't say anything work order could mean anything. they said just sign and they would look for it tomorrow. i said no i will wait until its found and left. my car is still there. EVERYTHING is recorded down all dates, all phone calls what was said, texts, i logged it all. SOMEONE HELP

All this in a year, not to mention the 3000 I paid for the car not counting taxes, tabs and the plates, plus insurance. Knew nothing about that Chrysler 2.7 engine, but I do now. ''PIECE OF CRAP''

Still plenty of mileage left on the engine or I thought. My head gasket blew out in my engine a week ago and it also leaked coolant into my oil and caused sludge and a milky oil substance to form in my oil now. Is this normal for these engines to do this? Can anyone give me some insight on this and also I've been told that its best for me to replace my engine now. Thanks to anyone who can share with me.

The oil light came on the engine lost power and shut completely down in the middle of the highway. Before that I didnot have any problems. I had to have my car towed to the mechanic shop. He broke the engine down and found a white substance mixed with the oil and caused the oil pump to stop up and caused the engine to loose compression. I haven't finished paying for the car yet and I can't even drive it. I cannot afford a new or rebuilt engine. They are expensive and this is rediculous. So many peolp haveing problems with these engines. Being a woman when you buy a used car the salesman know something is wrong and they won't tell you. I asked specifically about recalls and problems with these cars and I was told they were very good on gas and have the best engines out of all of the latest Dodge designs. The gas mileage is true but the engines I don't think so. I live in Georgia and I need help.

Now, two days later while driving, the oil light came on and the engine lost power. The car died and had to be toured home (another bill!). The alternator and battery are both fine but the car will not start. We are pretty sure that the motor is shot and will find out for sure soon. Now the poor boy is stuck with a very high interest car loan for the next 4 1/2 years! There is no way he can afford a new/rebuilt/used motor. What's he supposed to do? If anyone has any updates on this suit, please advise. We live in Mississippi.

I bought this vehicle from a small dealership in La Habra, CA. I want to say first that it is a very lovely car on the outside, but boy does it have engine problems. I guess the previous owner kept it very well, but the dealership didn't do an oil change. I don't know exactly what went wrong, but in addition to the oil sludge issue, there is an oil distribution issue with the design. That means even if you sink 800 bucks in part and fix everything yourself (the right way) it may still blow up on you again later. This is where me and my friend disagree, although he is a lot smarter when it comes to cars. I had him rip everything apart for me because I thought my engine issues were sludge related. They weren't. My friend's friend works in a machine shop and is pretty well respected among the car restoration community. He said that he rebuild a 2.7 V6 DOHC Dodge Stratus (just like mine) for a customer one time and she was back within a month with the same issue as before. he said it is the design of the engine that causes some places to not get quite enough oil which causes heat/wear/friction/chips of metal... (at least in mine...). Anyway he said higher viscosity is better (like 20W50 but it seems to me like it would be harder to circulate unles you had a high pressure oil system). Anyway, i hope this helped someone. LAWSUIT UPDATE: The only thing I have been able to find regarding the lawsuit was the consolodation of a lot of them into ne court, but with many more pending in other courts. That was in 2005? Anyway, you know what hapened. The US Government told the court to let them off the hook because it was going to be tax payers paying the settlements. If anyone gets one started call/text me or have your lawyer do it so I can join. I bet I could help find some certified, respected mechanics (and engineers) say the design is flawed because Dodge/Crystler/Whoever at the time wanted to make an ecological engine and saved a bit of energy by making smaller holes somewhere in the oil system. I gues a lot of that is speculation, but I digress.

So the took the valve covers of and I could not believe my eyes there was sluge a half in thick all over the valves told him of the oil changes and he told me it does not matter their is a defect in the engine. He told me he believes it is that the return lines are to small and that is why it gets clogged up and causes the sluge build up. He said the only answer is to completely rebuild the engine but evenwith that it would eventully build up again. I had an Intrepid and Dacoda with same engine the engines went bad on them but they were used when I bought them. This is the last Cyrisler Car I will ever buy an advise every one else to do the same. I would like to get in on the class action suit if anyone has info on how please respond.

All oil changes done. Records to prove. A $40 part that is known to break due to terrible engine design has now left us with no car. I will never, ever ever buy a Dodge or Chrysler product again.

    I have a 2002 Dodge Intrpid that has not blown up yet, but continues having the oil coming on at times. The other issue is It's starting to overheat. How can I get in on the lawsuit for the 2.7 engines?

  • {Plurb}November 2, 2011 at 5:40 pm

    Serena: DECK means your trunk is open close it and get the engine fixed.if it needs it. You can either afford to drive or you can't and must take the buss. Stop trying to sue or fight everybody. mechanical things break, some break sooner but all of them break at some point in time.

    My brother took my nephew to purchased his 1st car.Found a 2oo4 stratus with 5om miles.Paiid $8000 . Now the engine is shot.Only had it for several years . His mother died in 2ooo @ 42. an hsi father let's just say he doesn't exist.H.e trying to go to college .So what do you do with a 2004 car with a bad motor...

  • AleksSeptember 23, 2011 at 6:09 pm

    Same story here. 40,000 miles in and we had to replace the engine on our 2001 Sebring LX (2.7L V6). The tech told us it was sludge buildup. That was $6,000 I'd have rather not spent. That was 5 years ago, so this new engine's probably due to go now too. Does anyone know anything about joining the class-action group?

After doing some research i find out about this faulty engine . We are just sick about this there is no money to get a new car or replace the engine which will eventually blow and i am worried for her safety when it does . So i am now driving her car and let her use mine. I just cant believe there was not a recall on this engine !! Anyone have a clue how to maybe prolong the life of the engine even if there is already a rod knocking ?

My question like so many others is is there a recall on this engine and if not will there be. Sam paid $5,300.00 for this Intrepid and still owes most of that money, also $1,200.00 out of her pocket for additional repairs since time of purchase. It's no wonder so many people don't care anymore if they buy american made, when an american company like Chrysler won't step up and recall their faulty products. I apologize for you Chrysler, for ruining the reputation for all american companies.

Car was repaired in about a week and we drive the car another 75k then traded for another Chrysler product. Not sure why other folks are having these issues. For me Diamler Chrysler held to their warranty

I personnally think it's total BS , because GM , which I absolutely dispise as a company has steped up to honor their prior bankruptcy problems. Trivia --- I have a 2004 Intrepid with the oil light on at anything less than 1000 rpm's . It has 126,000 only because I've been nursing it along for years. It started consuming coolant a long time ago but with going to a 7lb. rad. cap and lots of stop-leak , I've made it this far. The engine has seen synthetic oil most of it's life but now I'm running 6 qts. of straight 50 weight to keep the oil light out. I've only heard a slight engine rap for a few seconds after changing the oil. I now fill the filter prior to installing to stop that. It's not if this engine is going to die , just a matter of when. Like most of us , when it does , a perfectly good car will be parked as we have NO money to fix. Thanks Chysler !!

They said it would cost 3000.00 dollars to fix I do not have that kind of money now the car sits and I cannot drive it because I cannot afford to get it fixed. I have always driven Chyrsler vehicles...... but no more.

    Hi, I bought a 2006 Dodge Magnum with the 2.7. I have the oil issue, the slipping tranny, Various components on the shifter assembly have now gone bad ( i can't take the key out of the ignition), and to top it all off now I have the Throttle control sensor on. This car is a piece of junk. I will never ever buy another dodge ever again.

Here is the Link to their website on the bottom left is their phone number please everyone call them and report these problems we are all facing with this engine so they get off their booties and do something before someone dies. http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/defects/defectmonthlyreports.cfm

The flickering oil light has been fixed twice and as of yesterday will need to be fixed again. The first time the car dealer took the hit, second time Midas did after an oil change by a newbie and now once again, 1000 miles from that oil change. I used to love this car. Engine light has been on once, as the manual instructed we drove it for a bit and the light went back out in about a day or two. The inserts on the doors have all broken off, the battery had to be replaced after I made the first payment..no warning...just dead. The front bumper pegs have almost all broken off because that's how the battery is changed out...both of the front lights have broken seals and are now cloudy...and now because of the defective oil sensor issue..it isn't safe to drive my 3 children anymore than the 5 miles it takes to get across town. I am frustrated that a company can be allowed to sell cars that could be death traps and then they get goverment money (from our taxes) and here we are left holding TWO bags of poo. Dodge will never bow to the masses. If in doubt please read this link: http://www.newser.com/story/58811/chrysler-execs-dodge-bailout-pay-caps.html I will NEVER buy another car BUT foreign. A person should be able to rest easy buying a "new" car. A company should be ashamed for having so many cars on the road that are a mockery to safety and Amercan built pride. There was a time when companies stood by their product. Good luck to everyone. I, like most of you who have posted, will be in a world of hurt if this thing breaks down before I can afford to get it replaced. I will sure not be paying to have a blown engine repaired. A person can buy a car free and clear for that kind of money. ...or a bicyle....

I had no idea that there was any kind of lawsuit regarding these vehicles and the reacurring issues, I just sold the vehicle just to get it out of my yard and the person I sold it to told me about the issues and pending lawsuits. So I decided to do some research and see if there is any help for me. After finally paying the car off and not having a car payment I WAS relieved! Now I was stuck for with non running vehicle and a new car payment. Had to purchase another car to have transportation to work.

I love the car itself, its me, but the engine, well I'l be walking if he cant fix it, I cant afford another car! And I cant afford $4,000 for a new engine! It isnt fair!

The engine let loose when we were 25 miles from our home. Luckily, my neighbor was able to have it towed back to my house, free-of-charge.

The car only has 72,000 miles on it and is now worthless. The engine let loose when we were 25 miles from our home. Luckily, my neighbor was able to have it towed back to my house, free-of-charge. From what I have been reading on this forum, there certainly should be some way for us all to have this issue resolved in a posiitive manner. With all of the problems that are currently going on within the automotive industry, surely Chrysler doesn't want this issue to drag on and cause them greater problems. Aren't there attorneys out there with the courage to take this company on and get this issue resolved? If so, then I wish someone would contact me so that I can get on the bandwagon and join this fight. Shame on you Chrysler for not stepping up to the plate and admitting that you just plain made a mistake and make it right and move on. But then again, this is America...bleed the citizens and make the big boys richer. WHERE'S MY BAILOUT?? HUH??
