ENGINE
I DROVE MY CHARGER OUT TO LUNCH, WAS RUNNING IMPECCABLE, AFTER HAVING MY MEAL, WE GOT BACK IN THE CAR, TRIED STARTING IT, IT SOUNDED LIKE A HARD, DIFFICULT START AND ONCE IT IGNITED THE CYLINDERS, THE ENGINE STARTED MAKING HORRIBLE BANGING NOISES, AND KILLED ITSELF. THERE WAS NO WARNING, NO OVERHEATING, MY CAR HAS 88,000 MILES ON IT. I'VE ALWAYS TAKEN EXTREMELY GOOD CARE OF IT, AS I SHOULD KNOW HOW TO BEING A MECHANIC. I PULLED THE MOTOR OUT OF THE CAR, AND OPENED IT UP TO FIND A DESTROYED COMBUSTION CHAMBER, AND A DESTROYED PISTON. THERE ARE MUCH MORE UNRELIABLE CARS OUT THERE THAT CAN MAKE IT PAST 88,000 MILES WITHOUT SEVERE ENGINE DAMAGE. SO DOES THAT MAKE DODGE THE MOST UNRELIABLE MANUFACTURER? IF DODGE DOES NOT ASSIST IN FIXING THE PROBLEM (A PARTIAL REFUND TO HELP COVER THE MASSIVE COST) I WILL NEVER BE BUYING ANOTHER DODGE. UPLOADED IS A PICTURE LOOKING DOWN THE INTAKE PORT OF THE DRIVERS SIDE 6TH CYLINDER. THE OTHER PICTURE IS OF THE PISTON DAMAGE. THIS IS AN RT CAR WITH 5.7 HEMI.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
FUEL SYSTEM ISSUE PERTAINING TO LACK OF FUEL TO ENGINE. THERE HAVE BEEN MULTIPLE OCCASIONS WHERE THE VEHICLE HAD HARD STARTING AND STALLING, NOW THE VEHICLE WON'T START. AFTER INVESTIGATING COMMON ISSUES (I.E., AIR, FUEL, SPARK) IT WAS DETERMINED THAT FUEL WAS NOT TRAVELING TO THE FUEL RAIL AT THE ENGINE. THE FUEL PUMP WAS REPLACED AND THE ISSUE PERSISTED. CURRENTLY THE VEHICLE IN NON-OPERATIONAL DUE TO THE LACK OF FUEL. I FELL THIS ISSUE IS VERY SIMILAR TO THE NHTSA PE13016 INVESTIGATION WHERE THE DETERMINATION WAS TO REPLACE THE FUEL TANK AS THE INTEGRATED MULTIFUNCTION CONTROL VALVE (MFCV) WAS FOUND TO BE DEFECTIVE. THE MANUFACTURER OFFERED A LIFETIME WARRANTY FOR THE ISSUE, HOWEVER IT WAS STATED THAT THE VEHICLES INCLUDED IN THE EXTENDED WARRANTY WERE EQUIPPED WITH THE 5.7L AND 6.1L 8-CYLIDER ENGINES. WE FIND THIS INACCURATE AS OUR VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH THE 3.5L 6-CYLINDER AND IS SUSPECT TO HAVE THE IDENTICAL ISSUES AS STATED IN THE ALL OF THE INVESTIGATIVE DOCUMENTS FOR PE13016.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
AFTER FILLING MY VEHICLE MY CAR WILL STALL AND RANDOM INTERVALS. SIMPLY DRIVE AWAY FROM THE GAS STATION AND THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL SO I'D START IT AND THEN CONTINUE TO DRIVE. THIS LARGELY HAPPENED WHILE I'M STATIONARY SO I WASN'T VERY CONCERNED UNTIL I HAD IT STALL WHILE I WAS TURNING ON TO A STREET AND ALMOST GOT SIDE SWIPED BY AN ON COMING CAR. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND SHOULD BE DEALT WITH BY THE COMPANY AS THEY HAVE ACKNOWLEDGED IT AS AN ISSUE AND I HAVE SEEN MULTIPLE PEOPLE FILE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE. THIS IN MY OPINION IS MORE DANGEROUS THAN THE SIR BAG ISSUE MY VEHICLE HAS ALREADY HAD A RECALL FOR. CHRYSLER AND DODGE HAS ACKNOWLEDGE THE ISSUE AND STATED IT'S A VALVE I CAN'T RECALL THE NAME OF THE SPECIFIC PART AND HAVING TO REPLACE THE GAS TANK.
