Whether you are looking for a family Sedan that pleases each member of the family or the Muscle Car of your fantasies, the Dodge Charger is all of this and more. Since its conception in 1965 the Charger has continued to evolve into the car you need and desire today and into the future.
If you liked the Dodge Chargers of the past, you will love the newest renditions. The new Charger replaces the Dodge Intrepid in the full size sedan line and its interior is reminiscent of the now discontinued Magnum. What more can you ask of a car than to combine the features you liked in other lines with those you loved in the Charger of the past?
For 2010, you can choose from the base Charger SE, the SXT AWD, or the Charger RT AWD line or go for the gold with the Charger SRT8 RWD.

High Quality Oil Gone Bad
Individuals purchasing used cars usually neglect to inspect the most crucial auto parts. That makes them guilty of the automotive original sin. The negligence of purchasers could lead to complex car problems at some future time. In fact, such negligence could turn high quality oil into futile gasoline.
Several hot-selling cars appear to have an increased peril of serious mechanical troubles. This is, most of the time, caused by neglecting the scheduled oil changes during the car’s formative years. One of the reasons that challenge the quality of the car is the buildup of sludge. The viscous tarlike deposits diminish or shut off oil circulation. It could cost the owner thousands of dollars for repairs or replacements.
Sludge is the term for solid waste and the thick breakdown of oil as it deteriorates. The buildup is triggered by moisture and contaminants that turn oil to gel. As a result, friction increases. Eventually, it may cause excess wear or worst – a stop-right-now failure. Experts are saying that there is no foolproof technique to ensure car owners of a trouble-prone vehicle to protect themselves. In addition, if there is a trouble involving sludge, the automaker may reject the warranty claim over the vehicle because it is likely hard to prove that previous owners neglected oil maintenance expected of them.
Oil sludge usually occurs at temperatures lower than 100 degree Celsius. It could be a key contributor to major engine problems. As a fact, sludge could necessitate a timely engine replacement. Late models of piston engines from several manufacturers have experienced failures by reason of oil sludge contamination. Failures happen when engine oil passages are clogged with sludge. Hence, even if oil is of high quality, it will be futile. The worst that it could do is to damage the whole engine much to the owner’s disadvantage.
Oil sludge has resulted to several auto catastrophes. In the automotive history, 3.3 million engines from Toyota, 430,000 from Saab, 426,000 from Volkswagen and unknown numbers from Chrysler, Dodge and Audi had such problems. These failures require changing to synthetic oil, inspection, and even engine replacement.
“Chrysler has a serious sludge problem with the 2.7-liter V-6 engine used on some of its Concordes and Sebrings and also on some Dodge Intrepids and Stratus in the 1998-2002 model years,” said Clarence M. Ditlow, executive director of the Center for Auto Safety. He added, “The center’s Web site (autosafety.org) had about 2,800 complaints of failures from sludge.”
Sam Locricchio, Chrysler spokesman said, “The center was exaggerating the problem. He said the center received many duplicate complaints as well as cases in which it could not be shown that the vehicle had been properly maintained.”
Dean Tomazic, director for performance and emissions at FEV Engine Technology, a consulting firm in Auburn Hills, Mich. said, “The owner of a used car could conscientiously change the oil every 3,000 miles and still have a problem if the previous owner neglected the maintenance. The engine may be so damaged from the past abuse,” He also added that such could “eternally cause sludge formation.”
Used car owners are not alone with said dilemma. Earlier, Jeff Meckstroth of New Orleans, initiated a class-action suit against Toyota involving sludge problem. Meckstroth’s new 1999 Lexus RX 300 sport wagon also had a sludge problem. Later, it was ruled by a Better Business Bureau arbitrator that the car was properly maintained. Unfortunately, Toyota denied there was a problem with the engine.
On the other hand, Consumer Reports magazine reported “the problem rate as reflected in our reliability data is very low.” “Oil sludge,” according to an auto expert, “is almost like clogged arteries. You look good on the outside, but you don’t know what is on the inside.” Every auto parts serve a vital role in the vehicle’s efficiency. Hence, an owner should not only concentrate on brakes, EBC pads and the like. He must inspect each part to be secured.

'96 dodge intrepid randomly shuts down @ 40-50mph?
This doesn't happen all the time, and it's definitely not predictable. I'll be driving along fine and then accelerate to 40 or so, and the car just shuts off. All my gauges are still lit up, so i know i have power, but trying to turn the car back on won't work. I have to pull over and let it sit for a few minutes, and then it starts right back up. I was having a previous problem with my battery, where one of the connectors (?) was corroded so that the tip doesn't always touch the battery. Sorry, that's the best I can explain it. Would the battery connections force the car off at certain points? The car has shut off once or twice when I was below 40, but mostly it's 40mph or above. Any help would be appreciated. I know I ran a diagnostic a while back and they said that there was a carbon buildup somewhere (I don't remember the exact error code, but it was a check engine warning light), that would limit my performance at medium speed, probably around 40. Any ideas?
There are several causes I would look into.
1. Check the electrical connection to the ignition coil. This problem seems to be very similar to several I have heard about where the connector to the ignition coil was loose or damaged. The car shuts off when the connection heats up, due to engine heat or to load on the connector, and then the metal expands and causes a gap in the connector. I have heard that some people solved it with a new connector, others had to replace the connector and the coil.
2. Check all your battery contacts for corrosion. Buy a wire battery brush and clean both the male connectors on the battery and the female connectors on the wires. Re-seat them, tighten them, and make sure they aren't getting wet, use a battery contact cover if need be. Again, this would be a heat/load related issue.
3. Check your fuses for a loose or partially blown fuse that would cause the same problem due to the same issue.
Hope this helps.
