ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I HAVE A 2007 DODGE CHARGER THAT I HAVE PURCHASED "USED" JUST 8 MONTHS AGO. I HAVE NOT EVEN DRIVEN 6000 MILES IN THIS CAR AND IT HAS A BAD "LIFTER" TICKING IN THE ENGINE. IT WILL COST IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF $1200.00 TO REPAIR. ON THE DODGE FORUMS I HAVE SEEN MULTIPLE PEOPLE COMPLAINING OF THE VERY SAME ISSUE. THEY HAVE ALL CALLED DODGE AS I HAVE AS WELL AND THE ANSWER WAS THE VERY SAME. CAN'T HELP YOU SORRY FOR YOUR LUCK! I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL ON THESE CHARGERS AS IT SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM ACROSS THE BOARD WITH THIS MODEL CAR. I AM FURIOUS THAT THEY WILL NOT HELP AND STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER DODGE VEHICLE OR RECOMMEND ONE EVER. I HAVE SPENT A FAIR AMOUNT OF MONEY FOR WHAT I THOUGHT WAS A "GOOD" BRAND AMERICAN VEHICLE AND NOW HERE WE ARE WITH ANOTHER HEADACHE CAR WITH ENGINE PROBLEMS AND NO HELP IN SIGHT! *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
MY ENGINE COOLANT HAS BEEN LEAKING AND CAUSED MY CAR TO OVER HEAT SINCE IT WASNT NOTICED. NO STEAM CAME OUT OF THE CAR TO ALERT ME THAT IT WAS RUNNING HOT WHILE DRIVING. MY CAR JUST AUTOMATICALLY SHUT DOWN AND WOULD NOT CRANK BACK UP. ONCE LOOKING UNDER THE HOOD I SAW THERE WAS NO COOLANT AND HOW IT HAD BEEN LEAKING AROUND THE VALVE. I REPLACED THE COOLANT THEN WENT INTO HAVE MY CAR SERVICED EVERY 3 MTHS AS USUAL. THE MECHANIC TELLS ME THAT HES NOTICED SEVERAL CHARGERS WITH THE SAME COOLANT LEAK IN THE VALVES. THIS SOUNDS LIKE A DEFECT TO ME. *TT
