1 Service Engine Light On problem of the 2011 Dodge Charger

Failure Date: 10/05/2018

My 2011 Dodge Charger rt 5. 7l v8 hemi started having issues running, it felt like it was idling high when sitting still while running in drive, but the rpm's were normal. Then it would periodically sound like it was not going to start, when turning it on, it would sputter and struggle to start, but t would start. The service engine light came on and the vehicle started having issues on the highway at high speeds, if you took your foot off accelerator to slow down gradually and then try to accel again it would would not acccel, and it would feel like it was pulling back, or braking. The car would then jump to accel like it was just put into gear. After a diagnosis we found there was a cylinder 3 misfire. The spark plugs were changed, all of the, and the coil, and the injector, and still it ran bad. Finally the dealership was able to say that there was a camshaft failure due to an internal issue. It was wiped out along with the lifters, because the rockers stopped rocking. This car is 7 years old, but only has about 81,000 miles, so the power train is up. The car was regularly serviced and taken care of and there is no reason that there should be such a failure with an engine that is so low on miles.
