Consumer Description

THIS CAR RAN PERFECT UP UNTIL THIS HAPPENED. I WENT OUT TO START IT UP ONE MORNING AND ON STARTING THE ENGINE BROKE A CONNECTING ROD ON NUMBER 7 CYLINDER,RUINING THE ENGINE .THIS IS A COMMON COMPLAINT WITH THESE 2004 DURANGOS WITH THE 5.7 HEMI ENGINE. IM A RETIRED MECHANIC WITH 31 YEARS EXPERIENCE WITH THE TRANSIT SYSTEM IN CINCINNATI,OHIO. AND I'VE NEVER SEEN ANY ENGINE DO THIS KIND OF DAMAGE FOR LACK OF MAINTENANCE. THIS IS NOTHING BUT POOR QUALITY CONTROL AND CHEAP OVER SEAS PARTS IN THESE EARLY HEMI ENGINES .DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO GET KILLED IN ORDER TO FORCE A RECALL ON THESE ENGINES???? *TR
