ENGINE
DROPPED VALVE SEAT: AFTER TRAVELING ABOUT 800 MILES FROM MASSACHUSETTS TO NORTH CAROLINA, WITHOUT ANY INDICATION OF A PROBLEM, I GOT OFF THE FREEWAY AND I STOPPED AT A MCDONALDS TO USE MY CELL PHONE AND I TURNED OFF THE CAR, AFTER ABOUT 5 MINS. I ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE CAR AND IT WOULDN'T START, THEN AS THE ENGAINE TURNED OVER IT BEGAN TO MAKE CLUNKING SOUNDS. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A NEAR BY DODGE DEALER, WHERE I WAS TOLD THAT THE ENGINE FAILED, COSTING ME $8,466.33 TO REPLACE THE ENGINE BECAUSE IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. THE CAR IS WELL MAINTAINED AND I HAVE ALL THE SERVICE RECORDS SHOWING THAT THIS FAILER SHOULDN'T HAD HAPPENED. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO OWN THE FLAW IN 2005-2007 HEMI 5.7 ENGINE AND CHRYSLER NEEDS TO REFUND ME THE $8,465.33 THAT I HAD TO SPEND TO BUY A NEW ENGINE.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THIS HAS HAPPENED TWO TIMES SINCE OWNING THE CAR ONLY 2 WEEKS. BOTH TIMES WHEN WE FILLED UP AT A GAS STATION, THE CAR WOULD STALL SEVERAL TIMES IMMEDIATELY AFTER LEAVING THE GAS STATION AND GETTING UP TO SPEED OR AT SPEED. THE CAR WOULD STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC, AND WOULD ALWAYS RESTART WHEN PUT IN PARK, BUT THIS CAUSES A SAFETY SITUATION IF WE ARE TURNING, ENTERING A FREEWAY, ETC.
