Consumer Description

WAS TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE CAR BEGAN STEAMING, PULLED OVER AND ALL THE RADIATOR FLUID WAS POURING OUT OF THE CAR. TURNS OUT THE WATER PUMP WENT OUT. THE PUMP IS INCORPORATED INTO THE MOTOR REQUIRING THE MOTOR TO BE UNBOLTED, TURNED UP, THE RADIATOR, VALVE COVER, THERMOSTAT, WATER PUMP, TIMING CHAIN AND MORE TO BE REMOVED. COST WAS NEARLY $850 DUE TO THE EXTREME AMOUNT OF LABOR INVOLVED AND THE FACT DODGE ONLY PARTS HAVE TO BE USED. MECHANIC INFORMED ME, AT THAT TIME THAT THE 2.7 LITER ENGINE WAS A VERY POOR DESIGN AND OFTEN GIVE OUT COMPLETELY BEFORE THE CAR HAS 100,000 MILES ON IT AND DODGE IS WELL AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. FOUND A LAWSUIT FILED AGAINST DODGE FOR THIS DEFECTIVE ENGINE IN NEW JERSEY. *TR
