AFTER DROPPING MY DAUGHTER AT SCHOOL THAT DAY IN MY CAR, I WENT HOME AND PARKED THE VEHICLE IN MY DRIVEWAY. WHEN I WENT TO PICK HER UP THAT AFTERNOON MY CAR WOULD NOT TURN OVER. IT NEVER LEFT MY DRIVEWAY BEFORE IT WAS TOWED TO A MECHANIC. DODGE HEMI 5.7 L ARE NOTORIOUS FOR PREMATURE ENGINE FAILURE DUE TO A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. THE VALVE SEAT DROPS INTO THE PISTON CAUSING CATASTROPHIC AND SUDDEN ENGINE FAILURE. THE REASON FOR MY COMPLAINT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE COST INVOLVED TO REPLACE MY TRANSPORTATION. THE DAMAGE HAS BEEN SAID AND DONE. THE REASON FOR THIS COMPLAINT IS THE THOUGHT THAT MY CAR'S ENGINE HAPPENED TO FAIL MINUTES BEFORE MY DAUGHTER WAS IN THE CAR. HONESTLY, IF THE ENGINE FAILURE WOULD HAVE HAPPENED WHILE THE CAR WAS IN MOTION, WHETHER IT BE IT IN A 20 MPH SCHOOL ZONE OR ON THE FREEWAY AT 70 MPH TO HER FAVORITE STORE TO GET A TREAT AFTER SCHOOL; I PROBABLY WOULD'VE NOT KNOWN WHAT TO DO. THIS DEFECT COULD HAVE VERY WELL CAUSED A WRECK HURTING ME MY EIGHT-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER AND POSSIBLY OTHER PEOPLE. I TRULY JUST DON'T WANT THIS TO HAPPEN TO SOMEONES LITTLE GIRL OR ANYBODY. CAN YOU PLEASE RESEARCH AND INVESTIGATE THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED OR HURT? IT'S JUST NOT RIGHT AND DODGE IS HOLDING NO RESPONSIBILITY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

I WAS IN LINE AT TIM HORTON'S, I HAD ORDERED, BUT NOT YET PAID. I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE (CAR WAS STATIONARY), AND THE AS THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME MOVED UP, I DEPRESSED THE BRAKE TO ROLL THE CAR FORWARD. THE CAR BEGAN ACCELERATING ON IT'S OWN. WITH MY FOOT STILL ON THE BRAKE, I PUSHED THE BRAKE TO THE FLOOR AT WHICH POINT THE ABS STRUGGLED TO SLOW THE ACCELERATION DOWN. THE RESULT OF THE INCIDENT IS MY CAR ONLY CAME TO A STOP ONCE I HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I LOOKED DOWN ONCE THE CAR STOPPED MOVING AND CLEARLY ONLY SAW MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE WITH THE BRAKE PRESSED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. LUCKILY THE ONLY REAL DAMAGE WAS SOME FLAKED PAINT ON THE FRONT OF MY CAR. THE OTHER CAR, AS WELL AS MYSELF DECIDED THE ISSUE WAS NOT WORTH REPORTING TO THE INSURANCE COMPANIES. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED MY DAD, WHO TOLD ME TO CALL THE DEALER. I THEN CALLED THE DEALER WHOM SAID DO NOT DRIVE THE CAR, AND GET THE CAR TOWED TO THEM FOR DIAGNOSIS. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE DODGE/JEEP DEALERSHIP IN WHICH I BOUGHT THE CAR IN 2007. THIS ISSUE HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE, IN THE 11 YEARS I'VE OWNED THE CAR.

MY 2006 DODGE CHARGER RT WILL NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK. THIS IS A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM WITH 2006 CHARGERS AND "SOME" 2006 MODELS ARE COVERED UNDER A RECALL "K39." IT SEEMS LIKE MY 2006 CHARGER IS ONE OF THE 2006 CHARGERS THAT ISN'T COVERED FOR SOME REASON. I CHECKED MY VIN ON YOUR WEBSITE AND THE RECALL DOESN'T SHOW. THIS HAPPENED IN MY DRIVEWAY. ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED. THANKS

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR LOSES POWER AND SLOWS DOWN, THE ENGINE IS RUNNING ROUGH AND WHEN PULLED OVER THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, THE CAR WILL NOT MOVE AT ALL. THE SHIFTER WILL MOVE THROUGH THE GEARS HOWEVER THE CAR WILL NOT MOVE(AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION). AFTER TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTARTING THE CAR RUNS NORMAL UNTIL THE NEXT EPISODE( OCCURRED THE LAST 3 TIMES CAR HAS BEEN DRIVEN). THIS IS HAZARDOUS ESPECIALLY IN TRAFFIC. CURRENTLY SETTING UP APPOINTMENT WITH DODGE DEALERSHIP TO ADDRESS PROBLEM HOWEVER NO CAUTION LIGHT IS APPEARING ON THE DASH. THIS MALFUNCTION HAPPENS AT ANY SPEED ON HIGHWAY OR CITY STREET.

JUST PRIOR TO FAILURE SPENT AROUND $4K TO MAKE SURE THE CAR WAS RUNNING PERFECT. MECHANIC HAD TOLD ME THE CAR WAS IN PERFECT RUNNING ORDER AND COMPRESSION WAS LIKE IT WAS ALMOST BRAND NEW. ENGINE SHOULD HAVE EASILY MADE IT TO 250K MILES. CONTACTED CHRYSLER WHO PRETTY MUCH LIED AND TOLD ME THIS WAS NOT A COMMON OCCURRENCE. DEALER WAS NOT WILLING TO HELP ME TOWARDS THE REPAIR. IF THIS VALVE SEAT DROPPED 30 SECONDS EARLIER, IT WOULD HAVE LOCKED UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREEWAY PUTTING THE LIVES OF MY FAMILY AND MYSELF AT RISK. THIS IS A WIDESPREAD AND KNOWN ISSUE AND CHRYSLER IS NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THIS IS A DISGRACE.
