ENGINE
ON MAY 2, 1016 I TOOK MY CAR TO THE LUBE SHOP TO HAVE MY FLUIDS TOPPED OFF AND MY AIR PRESSURE CHECKED BEFORE I LEFT TOWN. I DROVE MY CAR IN AND HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED OUT. AFTER LOOKING AT MY VEHICLE, DODGE TOLD ME I HAVE A BLOWN VALVE SEAT. MY CAR PURRED LIKE A KITTEN. IT NEVER OVERHEATED, DIDN'T BURN OIL, NEVER SMOKED, DIDN'T MAKE ANY KNOCKING NOISES...NOTHING. THERE WAS NO WARNING! THE SERVICE MANAGER LOOKED ME SQUARE IN THE FACE AND LIED TO ME SAYING, THIS PROBLEM IS "REALLY, REALLY, REALLY RARE" BUT THAT I WAS BASICALLY SCREWED SINCE MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE ALL WEEK AND HAVE FOUND OUT THAT THIS ISSUE IS NOT RARE AND DODGE IS FULLY AWARE OF THE DEFECT IN THE VALVE SEAT. I CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHY THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL ON THIS. SO YOU BUY A CAR AND EXPECT THAT SINCE YOU KEEP IT WELL MAINTAINED WITH ALL MAINTENANCE ROUTINELY DONE AND IT DOESN'T MATTER...IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE...CATASTROPHIC FAILURE. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? WHEN DODGE TOLD ME THIS WAS "REALLY, REALLY, REALLY RARE" THEY ADMITTED TO BEING AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DESIGN FLAW IN THE HEMI WITH THE VALVE SEATS DROPPING. I PLAN ON STARTING A PETITION THAT WOULD CAUSE DODGE TO HAVE TO INITIATE A RECALL ON THIS DEFECTIVE MOTOR. THIS IS NOT FAIR. I HAD MY CAR AT DODGE LESS THAN 6 MONTHS AGO FOR A HEMI TUNE-UP AND WHEN I ASKED THE MECHANIC IF HE SAW ANY FOREWARNING OF THIS HE SAID ABSOLUTELY NOT. THIS CAR WAS SO PERFECTLY MAINTAINED THAT AFTER I HAD IT THERE FOR SERVICE, THE SALES DEPARTMENT CALLED ME TWO DIFFERENT TIMES ASKING IF I WANTED TO SELL MY CAR TO THEM. I AM GOING TO GET SATISFACTION FOR THIS FAILURE ONE WAY OR ANOTHER.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I HAVE HAD AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH MY 2005 DODGE MAGNUM RT 5.7L 58,000 MI ON IT. AFTER FILLING UP THE GAS TANK , THE VEHICLE WILL SHUT DOWN DURING DRIVING MANY TIMES BEFORE FINALLY GOING AGAIN. ALL POWER INCLUDING THE POWER STEERING GOES. I DIDN'T RELATE THE PROBLEM AT FIRST WITH FUELING , THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR A FEW YEARS. I TOOK IT TO THE DODGE DEALER A FEW YEARS AGO , AND HAD THE PCM , AND OTHER PARTS REPLACED , STALLED ON THE WAY HOME. NOTHING HAS WORKED SO FAR. THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES . I DON'T EVEN TRUST IT TO DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY , AND I DON'T LIKE EVEN PUTTING MY GRANDCHILDREN IN THE CAR , BECAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW, IT COULD STALL ANYWHERE, I PLANNED ON KEEPING THIS CAR FOR A LONG TIME I STILL HAVE VERY LOW MILES ON IT., AND NOW I FEAR IT. DODGE NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. I HAVEN'T SEEN ANY RECALLS ON THIS , BUT I HAVE SEEN SOME PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE FUEL TANK REPLACED STATING IT IS THE ROLLOVER VALVE. JUST BECAUSE THESE CARS ARE OLDER DOESN'T MEAN WE HAVE TO GIVE THEM UP . DODGE PLEASE HELP! WE SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY FOR A PROBLEM IN 85+% OF THE CARS
