UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I WAS DRIVING MY 2007 DODGE CHARGER AND MY MOTOR WAS LOCK-UP. I DID NOT KNOW FOR SURE TILL I TOOK IT TO DODGE AND I HAD TO PAY THEM FOR THIS SERVICE. ALTHOUGH THEY DID TELL ME HOW MUCH IT WOULD COST FOR ANOTHER MOTOR 8500 LIKE REALLY. FURTHERMORE,THE PROBLEM WAS THE COOLING SYSTEM WHICH GAVE NO SIGN OR WARNING TIL THE ENGINE LOCK-UP. THEREFORE I PURCHASED A USE ENGINE SAME YEAR AND MODEL FOR MY 5.7 HEMI MOTOR WHICH DODGE REFUSE TO GIVE A WARRANTY ON BUT THEY MAKE THEM. SAD. I BOUGHT A NEW RADIATOR CLEAN/FLUSHED MY COOLING SYSTEM. NOW THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO THE MOTOR I JUST WAS ABLE TO PUT IN SAME PROBLEM COOLING SYSTEM. PLEASE HELP OR LET ME TRADE MY CAR IN. I HONESTLY THINK DODGE SHOULD RECALL THESE CARS BECAUSE THEY BUILT SOME POOR MOTOR AND EXPECT HARD WORKING PEOPLE TO PAY FOR THEIR POOR JUDGEMENT IN BUILDING THESE PRETTY CAR.

ALL TOWN ARE SMALL POLICE DEPT AND LOSS OF THESE CARS IN HURTING OUR EFFORTS TO PROVIDE FOR THE COMMUNITY. DODGE HAS GIVEN OUR DEPT 30 DAYS TO ACCEPT OFFER. *TR
