NHTSA Complaint #10577612 — 2006 CHRYSLER 300C

DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ON INTERSTATE AND THE CAR LUNGED AND THEN SEEMED TO BE FINE, UNTIL GETTING OFF THE INTERSTATE AND STOPPING AT THE LIGHT IT WAS VERY OBVIOUS IT WAS MISSING OUT. IT DID NOT THROW A ENGINE CODE UNTIL PULLING INTO DRIVEWAY. I IMMEDIATELY DID A SCAN AND CAME UP WITH A P1414 CYLINDER 4 REACTIVATION CONTROL PERFORMANCE POSSIBLE CAUSES (K452) MDS SOLENOID NO.4 CONTROL SHORT TO VOLTAGE OIL PASSAGES RESTRICTED LIFTER MDS SOLENOID NO.4 PCM WE THEN TOOK TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY CHARGED ME A 125.00 TO TELL ME WHAT I ALREADY TOLD THEM. AND FOLLOWED UP WITH THEY WANTED TO CHARGE ME 600.00 TO TEAR IT DOWN AND INSPECT IT FURTHER. SO I DID THE TEAR DOWN MYSELF AND THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE FOUND TO EXPLAIN WHY A CAR WITH ONLY 92000 MILES ON IT AND 5-20 ROYAL PURPLE OIL AND K&N OIL FILTER WERE CHANGED ON A RELIGIOUS BASES, AND CLEAN COOLANT WOULD CAUSE A PISTON TO BASICALLY DESTROY ITSELF. THE MOTOR HAS TO BE REPLACED COSTING OVER $6000 ALMOST MORE THEN CAR IS WORTH RUNNING. *TR
