Engine Belts And Pulleys problems of the 2010 Dodge Challenger

2014 timing belt was recalled and apparently repaired. Car shut off in the middle of the highway and then engine seized. Had it towed and service said it was timing belt again and now engine needed to be replaced. Called Dodge, they said there is nothing they can or want to do.

During its most recent scheduled oil change on may 25, 2018, the Dodge service department indicated that my 2010 Challenger srt8 with 56,000 miles has an oil leak that is leaking from the front of the crankshaft and the Dodge Challenger serpentine/drive belt is spraying oil all over the place under the hood, on the engine and directly into the alternator which the Dodge service department indicated could cause a fire! I contacted fiat Chrysler automobiles customer care (case number 34409843) and provided detail with after 5 customer care agents on 5 separate occasions promising me a callback (never received) wished me good luck with having Dodge address the engine oil leak / fire hazard. I have inquired with two other local Dodge dealership service departments and both indicated that they have never seen this type of issue on a 2010 Dodge Challenger srt8. On July 3, 2018, I once again contacted fiat Chrysler automobiles customer care and was advised that case number 34409843 was unilaterally closed by a supervisor without contacting me or the Dodge dealership service department that performs all maintenance on my 2010 Dodge Challenger srt8. Accordingly, I requested and the fiat Chrysler automobiles customer care representative opened up a new case (case number 34660813) case number 34409843 05/25/2018-gabriel employee id gw373 06/13/2013-jake employee id jr2692 06/20/2018-robert employee id rc2336 06/20/2018-lauren employee id luw551 07/03/2018-janelle (refused to provide employee id) case number 34660813 07/03/2018-doaa employee id dh1013 since the service visit on may 25, 2018, I have not been able to drive my vehicle for fear that it will catch fire.

Car turned off/shut down by itself while driving, resulting in loss of power steering and brakes, for the 7th time. Speed relatively slow around 30 mph, and not turning sharply. Driving in residential area. Lost power steering and power brakes. Very difficult turn, stop, and restart. Vehicle did not store any codes. This is the 1st failure on the newly replaced pcm but 7th total since I bought the car new. . Dodge/Chrysler says this is "not serious" because there are no error codes saved in the car and they cannot duplicate the failure. They say if it was serious, there would be a code. They are not willing to look/ investigate further because there are no codes and it didn't die on their test drive while hooked to their diagnostic equipment. Service manager gene at waldorf Dodge said the srt help center/case manager recommended changing the transmission fluid & perform tune up; both performed 15k miles ago. (ridiculous. This is how women get treated at waldorf Dodge. He also told me the srt Challenger has a timing belt in the front of the engine-not). This is dangerous!!!.

I was traveling on sr 10 easbound and after passing the FL state line coming from alabama, the engine light came on and immediately after that the engine stopped. I had my car towed to the nearest Dodge dealership to pensacola, FL. The problem was caused by the broken timing belt chain that Dodge has a national recall on. The repair cost of the damage is $4500 (valves, cylinder-head etc. ) and Dodge would not give authorization to the dealer to repair it free of charge to me claiming that the car has a rebuilt title. This is not a warranty issue, it's a safety recall issue and it has nothing to do with the fact that my car was in a small accident and it's rear was repaired by using original parts. It was inspected and given not a salvage but a rebuilt title that is a marketable title. I believe that by law they should be obligated to repair it.
