NHTSA Complaint #10444684 — 2004 DODGE DURANGO

I WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 15 MPH IN MY 2004 DODGE DURANGO WITH THE 5.7 HEMI. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND BEFORE I COULD PULL OVER THE ENGINE BLEW. IT KNOCKED A WHOLE IN THE SIDE OF THE ENGINE AND IMMEADIATELY STOPPED. THE ENGINE HAD 113,000 MILES ON IT AND MAINTENANCED REGUARLY. I HAVE READ IN SEVERAL FORUMS WITH SEVERAL PEOPLE WITH THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. I CALLED DODGE AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. THIS IS AN ABSOLUTE OUTRAGE, I AM MILITARY AND LIVING ON A FIXED BUDGET AS IT IS AND CAN'T AFFORD THE PRICE OF ANOTHER ENGINE. WITH ALL THE ISSUES THAT THE 2004 HEMI'S ARE HAVING, THERE HAS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THIS PARTICULAR ENGINE. WHEN IT WOULD RAIN MY VEHICLE WOULD STALL, SO I AM NOT SURE IF THAT HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE ENGINE FAILING. SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE EXACT SAME ISSUE AS THAT AS WELL. *TT
