Radiator pressure valve failed.two months later the water pump failed. At this time the oil sensor light would come blink, but not that often. When I went to gfet the water pump fixed the told me the timimg chain was loose. I didnt replace it because I didnt have money at the time. Two months lated I take my car to the shop to get the belt replace. They told me that who ever replaced the water pump failed bent some nut connected to the pully.

Car broke down they say its sludge even though I changed the oil every 3000 miles. I didn't keep my receipts so they won't fix I took a bumper to bumper contract but they say because of sludge they will not fix unless I come up with 6900 dollars for engine and labor. Ive been online and I see these engines are causing a lot of people heartaches my vehicle has 46,000 miles and it just sits there on the porch cause I cant afford to fix it and from what ive been reading about the 2.7 engine I dont know if I would ever invest any more money in a Dodge or any 2.7 engine.
