Consumer Description

I OWN A 2004 DODGE DURANGO, V8, 5.7 WITH A HEMI & A 102,000 MILES ON IT. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER & HAVE BABIED THIS CAR FROM THE GET GO. WE RECENTLY JUST REPLACED THE BALL JOINTS ON THE FRONT END, TUNED IT UP & WAS HEADING TO GET THE TIRES ROTATED & BALANCED FOR OUR FAMILY SPRING BREAK VACATION. WHEN MY HUSBAND WENT OUT TO START IT, IT MADE A HORRIBLE NOISE & THREW A ROD THROUGH MY ENGINE, INTAKE & OIL PAN. I AM HIGHLY DISAPPOINTED IN THE MONEY I HAVE PUT IN THIS CAR TO KEEP IT MAINTENANCED & WHAT I PAID FOR IT, TO JUST BLOW WITH NO WARNING. AFTER READING NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS YEAR & ENGINE, DODGE NEEDS TO STEP UP & TAKE RESPONSIBILITY & MAKE A RECALL. I AM NOW GOING TO BE OUT THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS ON A CAR I STILL OWE ON & MY VACATION HAS BEEN RUINED & HAD TO BE CANCELED. I AM THANKFUL HOWEVER THAT I WAS NOT DRIVING WHEN THIS HAPPENED WITH MY LITTLE BOY IN THE CAR. TOTALLY DISGUSTED WITH DODGE FOR NOT RECALLING THIS ENGINE SOONER. *TR
