Consumer Description
I WAS DRIVING ON I-55 NORTHBOUND 10 MILES NORTH OF BLOOMINGTON, IL, WHEN I LOST POWER TO THE ENGINE. I WAS ABLE TO GET OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I ATTEMPTED TO START THE CAR, BUT THE ENGINE WOULD NOT START. THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP (SAM LEMAN) NOTED NO COMPRESSION AND A BROKEN TIMING CHAIN AND TENSIONER. THIS IS THE FOURTH TIME THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN AT A DEALERSHIP FOR ENGINE PROBLEMS (PREVIOUS THREE IN APRIL 2013 FOR A FAULTY OIL CONTROL SOLENOID). IT APPEARS THAT THE BROKEN TIMING CHAIN IS COMMON WITH MY MODEL OF CHALLENGER (R/T SUB MODEL WITH 5.7L ENGINE (WITH VVT AND MDS) AND AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION). *TR
