Consumer Description

APPARENTLY THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT DODGE HAS BEEN AWARE OF SINCE 2004. THE DESIGN OF THE VEHICLE ALLOWS RAIN WATER TO BE DIRECTED DOWN THE FRONT WINDSHIELD AND INTO THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT WHERE IT IS THEN SUCKED THROUGH THE INTAKE MANIFOLD CAUSING THE PISTONS TO HYDRO-LOCK. IN TURN THE PISTON RODS BEND AND/OR BREAK CAUSING THE ENGINE TO BLOW UP. THIS HAPPENED TO MY VEHICLE WHEN I STARTED IT ON MAY 18, 2014. THERE WERE PIECES OF MY ENGINE BLOCK ON THE DRIVEWAY. THANKFULLY I WASN'T DRIVING AT THE TIME OR I COULD HAVE HAD A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. *TR
