Radiator problems of the 2006 Dodge Charger

Running hot. Replaced can motors thermostat radiator water pump.

Driving in all types of conditions, engine randomly overheats. Have replaced thermostat - twice, radiator, heater core, coolant flush - twice, pressure test, radiator hose, water pump. Still overheating and becoming more and more frequent.

While driving along hwy, noticed engine temp getting warm (apparently another radiator had blown and was dumping coolant under car), so I started trying to get to side lanes. Then saw temp was close to red, so I shut the engine off (at speed) and coasted off to shoulder. Determined radiator was unfixable and waited for tow. Engine had cooled so tried to start the engine to briefly adjust it to be picked up by tow truck. Engine was hard to start, then began making awful clanking, pinging, rattling noises for a bit, then stalled out. Had it brought home and ended up finding that the intake valve seats for cylinders #4 and 8 had dropped out of the head and had been rattling around against valves and made several dings in pistons. Ended up costing me over $2500 to fix the top end, but I may still be dealing with piston ring damage issues.

The contact owns a 2006 Dodge Charger. The contact stated that there was a loud knocking sound coming from the engine. The vehicle was taken to a mechanic and it was determined that two of the engine cylinders needed to be replaced. The failure caused the check engine light to illuminate on the instrument. The contact also stated that the engine ran hot and it was determined that it was because of pressure building in the radiator and a leak in the transmission. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 108,000.

Tl- the contact owns a 2006 Dodge Charger. The contact stated that both radiator fans overheated and began rubbing together. The contact was told by a mechanic that they were lucky to have them replaced before they became fractured and entered the radiator. The vehicle was repaired and both fans were replaced. The failure and the current mileages were 72,300. Kmj.

I have a 2006 Dodge Charger. I had my oil changed and all fluids checked at a Dodge dealership on a Wednesday. That following Sunday while traveling through town, the engine overheated. After much investigation, it was determined that the radiator fan motors have locked up. This happened quite suddenly and I am now without a vehicle. There were no warning symbols other than the overheating. I found a service bulletin on line that pertains to the replacement of the radiator fans on 2006 Dodge Chargers. I called Chrysler and was told that my car was not manufactured in the factory that has the service bulletin pertained to. I then called my Dodge dealership and my service writer stated that service bulletins do not mean the expenses are paid for and I have no recalls on my VIN number. Therefor, Dodge can not help me and my out of pocket could range anywhere from $500 to over $1,000. The service writer further stated to have the car towed into the dealership immediately and they will diagnose the problem for an additional $100. I bought my car new and the manufacturers refuse to help. Is there anything I can do?.

Overheated and blew the top radiator hose,fixed it with an oem hose from dealership next day and I topped of the fluid and " burped" it and got all the bubbles out. Same day it was fixed I was in a drive thru line at a fast food place and it was still overheating even with my heater turned all the way up to relieve some heat stress from the motor so I had to keep shutting off the car and restarting it to move up in the drive thru line just so the gauge never reached the red line on the temp gauge and I finally received my food and then it did not want to start or anything so due to the fact of common courtesy of the other customers in line did not want to hold them up I jumped out and pushed my car out of the way and into a parking spot and that's when the injury happened by pushing it I injured my back severely. After it was in a parking spot I tried once again to start it and it started but with a loud knock coming from the motor, and black and white smoke from the tailpipes. So I had it towed to my house and had my friend whom is a mechanic at the local Dodge dealership come over and look into it for me just to find out a valve seat dropped and damage the internals on my motor. This is a well known problem now with Dodge with many complaints around the world so why the heck isn't this problem being recalled???? just so anyone who reads this knows, my car is a 2006 Dodge Charger r/t 5. 7l hemi with only 110,000 miles on it and dealership maintained so this kinda stuff wouldn't happen but what do you know good ol Dodge screwing there customers by not fixing the problem. First and last Dodge product I will ever own!!!.
