All the complaints I've seen so far have been with the V6 engine.

Thanks.2. Jacob Says: Negative, the 2.4L does not have the engine sludge issues that the 2.7 v-6 does.3. cj360trider Says: the 2.4 doesnt have that reputation but regardless if the oil isnt changed you can develop that problem.the biggest thing on a 2.4 like most 4 cyl. is change the timing belt and water pump at their proper intervals.4. dodge man Says: no the 2.4 was one of the best engines they built for that error in time,it doesn't give too many problems at all and none that i have seen from sludge build up,its going to depend on who had it though and what kind of oil they used in it and how often they changed it ,but 99% of them wont have that problem,good luck Tag: Do 2.4L I4 Dodge Stratus engines have the oil sludge build up problem?
