DURING SUMMER 2017, 5.7L HEMI STARTED TO MAKE A NOTICEABLE CLICKING NOISE AT 70,000 MILES ALTHOUGH IT HAD BEEN METICULOUSLY MAINTAINED. IN SEPT 2017 AT 72,000 THE ENGINE FAILED WITH A GRINDED CAMSHAFT DUE TO A ROLLER/LIFTER FAILURE. THE ENGINE HAD TO BE REPLACED OUT OF WARRANTY BY SPECIALTY HEMI ENGIEN SHOP PRO ENGINES LLC IN ELON, NC. TODAY, I AM REALIZING THAT THIS WAS NOT A RANDOM OCCURRENCE. I HAVE FOUND MANY TESTIMONIES ONLINE AND IN PERSON OF 5.7L HEMI OWNERS HAVING EXPERIENCED SIMILAR DRAMATIC AND COSTLY FAILURES OF THEIR ENGINE CAMSHAFT DUE ROLLER / LIFTER FAILURE AS EXPLAINED CLEARLY FOR EXAMPLE IN THESE VIDEOS: HERE (HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=INPUZ3PCHA0), HERE (HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=LG5QX9QOJGO) OR HERE (HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=_2CX11TUTIC) LUCKILY THIS ENGINE FAILURE DID NOT CAUSE INJURY AS IT FAILED WHILE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, BUT I CONCUR THAT IT COULD HAVE IF THE FAILURE AT HAPPENED AT THE WRONG MOMENT AND I THINK THAT DODGE IS WELL AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND THAT IT IS TRYING TO HIDE IT I CONCUR THAT THE CAMSHAFT FAILURE IS AN ENGINEERING ISSUE THAT DODGE SHOULD CORRECT AND FIX UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY AS REPLACING THE ENGINE WAS VERY EXPANSIVE AND IS TOTALLY OUTRAGEOUS FOR A LESS THAN 6 YEARS OLD AND 72,000 MILES PERFECTLY MAINTAINED TRUCK.
