Dropped valve seat: after traveling about 800 miles from massachusetts to north carolina, without any indication of a problem, I got off the freeway and I stopped at a mcdonalds to use my cell phone and I turned off the car, after about 5 mins. I attempted to restart the car and it wouldn't start, then as the engaine turned over it began to make clunking sounds. I had the car towed to a near by Dodge dealer, where I was told that the engine failed, costing me $8,466. 33 to replace the engine because it was out of warranty. The car is well maintained and I have all the service records showing that this failer shouldn't had happened. Chrysler needs to own the flaw in 2005-2007 hemi 5. 7 engine and Chrysler needs to refund me the $8,465. 33 that I had to spend to buy a new engine.
On 12 Mar 11, I heard a clanking noise coming from my 2006 Dodge Magnum engine. I took the car in on mon, 14 Mar 11, to a repair shop an was told I needed a new engine. Before I could return the next day to drop the car off, the engine stopped. I had the car towed to a repair shop and was told the timing chain had broken and there was oil sludge build up. My Dodge has only 63k miles and preventive maintenance is performed every 3,000 miles. The car has not yet been repaired. I am seeking some sort of resolution with Dodge to correct this issue.
