“Came out of the store to start the car. It wouldn't start. Engine made a coins shaking in can noise. Had towed to a service center, they asked if it had overheated, I said no because it hadn't shown any signs it had. They said it got so hot things melted and valve seats and pistons were ruined. I've read about dodge jeep and Chrysler hemi 5.7s and valve seats and many people had this exact same problem with no sure reason as to why. …”
NHTSA complaint #11112911, filed 2018-07, 160,000 miles“We were on the freeway and in the space of several seconds, we lost rpms, the check engine light came on, then the traction light, then all of the lights, then it died just as we got onto the shoulder. The mechanic had to replace timing belt and water pump just to get it running enough to run the codes. Mechanic reports that there are bent valves and 4 of the cylinders are misfiring.”
NHTSA complaint #10576463, filed 2014-04, 101,000 miles“The engine shuts down, power steering cuts off when I'm sitting at a light but only after I pull off. I have to put the car in neutral really quick and start it. I took it to the dealership more than once and he told me that they could not find anything. I told him I almost got rammed in the back twice because it cuts off right after I pull off and I have a hard time turning the steering wheel because the power steering goes out also.”
NHTSA complaint #10648230, filed 2014-10, 82,847 miles“On multiple occasions (more notably in moist weather, I.e. Rain, morning dew, and humidity) my vehicle has stalled out causing me to have to pull off or veer on to the shoulder of the road. The vehicle does not show any error codes, nor does it have any stored codes from the occasions that this particular issue has come up. The dealerships in my area claim that they have never heard of this issue before and cannot attribute it to anything in particular. …”
NHTSA complaint #10678410, filed 2015-01, 83,000 miles“Cooling fan broke and fractured the radiator. Found the attached customer service notification l08 which describes what happened to my vehicle. When I called the manufacturer they said my vehicle does not fall under it.”
