I drove my Charger out to lunch, was running impeccable, after having my meal, we got back in the car, tried starting it, it sounded like a hard, difficult start and once it ignited the cylinders, the engine started making horrible banging noises, and killed itself. There was no warning, no overheating, my car has 88,000 miles on it. I've always taken extremely good care of it, as I should know how to being a mechanic. I pulled the motor out of the car, and opened it up to find a destroyed combustion chamber, and a destroyed piston. There are much more unreliable cars out there that can make it past 88,000 miles without severe engine damage. So does that make Dodge the most unreliable manufacturer? if Dodge does not assist in fixing the problem (a partial refund to help cover the massive cost) I will never be buying another Dodge. Uploaded is a picture looking down the intake port of the drivers side 6th cylinder. The other picture is of the piston damage. This is an rt car with 5. 7 hemi.

I was driving home one day . I was going 55 and then all of a sudden I hear a pop inside the engine while I'm driving. After that day, the engine started making a ticking/knocking noise. It started getting worse and worse. I don't drive my car anymore because when I drive it, the engine heats up really fast and the car shakes along with the ticking/knocking noise. I did some research on the ticking/knocking noise on a 2006 Dodge Charger 3. 5l v6 engine and a lot of results came up with many people having the same problem on their 2006 Dodge Charger 3. 5l v6 engine. I would really appreciate it if you started an investigation on this situation considering that it has happened to hundreds of people in different places. Please really look into it, thank you.

At approximately 95,000 mile I had my rocker arm shaft lifter assembly replaced under warranty due to a broken rocker arm and loud knocking noises coming from my engine. 10,000 miles later a rocker arm broke on the new assembly. I researched this issue and it is a know problem with Dodge Charger 3. 5l engines. There is a defective part in the assembly that causes the rocker arm to break. People have replaced this item in their engine numerous times. The rocker arm shaft lifter assembly should be recalled. People pay over $1500 for this repair just to have faulty parts installed and have the same issue over and over again. There are multiple forums about this problem with Dodge's 3. 5l engine.

I am the original owner of this vehicle, and have regularly maintained it and performed all the scheduled maintenance at the manufacturer's suggested intervals. The vehicle operated normally, with no indications of any issues. On 8/12/14, I went to start my vehicle and it made a horrendous banging noise before immediately shutting down. I had to have the car towed home (as I was thirty miles away) and discovered the engine valve in piston #2 had broken and shattered, causing an engine failure, with the only repair being a complete engine rebuild or replacement. A check on-line showed this is a common and reoccurring issue with this model and engine type (2006 Dodge Charger r/t). I reported the issue to Dodge, and was told there are no known issues with the engine of valves, however the Dodge technician at the dealership said it is a common problem and should have been recalled. The evidence to this is the engine parts needed to fix this (block, valves, etc. ) are on a 2 to 6 month back-order. Please help! I can not afford to basically pay for a new car for a known issue that should have been prevented by the manufacturer.

I bought my 2006 Dodge Charger 3. 5l v6 new in may 2006. I absolutely loved this car until summer of 2009 just after my warranty expired, my gear shifter stuck in the park position and had to have it towed. I called Dodge to see if there was a recall on this problem after reading about so many other people that had same issue. Was told no, I paid to have it fixed somewhere around $450-500. On Monday I had to have my car towed because it broke down on my way home from work. It sounded like the car was going to explode like in a cartoon. It was making knocking noises and sounded like a diesel truck. Mechanic told me that my engine was shot. How could this be? my car has 67,716 miles on it!!! very low mileage for a 2006 vehicle. Called Dodge and asked if there was a recall on the engine problem. I read of many, many other people having this same issue. No recall, but if I can have it towed to an approved Dodge dealer and get a diagnosis from their mechanic, call back. I was given a claim # from Dodge hq. I have an insurance adjuster going out tomorrow morning to assess the damage and the problem. I am furious! I spent a lot of money on this car and it should last more than 67k miles! update from Aug 5, 2014 update: 8/5/14 insurance told me that it is a known common issue with the Dodge Charger and because of this, there are not many recycled engines available or if they are found, it might have same issue as mine did. Adjuster said that it was a pressure leak that only happens while driving causing the filter to expand and oil to leak. My engine is beyond repair! I called Dodge hq again and was told that there are no recalls on my vehicle after checking my VIN#. Also told me they will not help me. They told me I can file a complaint with ntsha. Meanwhile I am taking the bus. Not a happy camper!.

Purchased 07 r/t Charger from dealer brand new,,treated like baby, changed oil and had all service completed at dealership. Without notice car dies on street as if vehicle ran out of gas. Gas light on. Put gas in vehicle only to start up making an extremely loud knocking sound. Mind you vehicle had been running like a charm. Had vehicle towed only to be told #6 cylinder blown,motor gone. What is Dodge doing about this. Apparently cerritos Dodge is currently working on 6 Chargers that need entirely new engines.
