Consumer Description

AT APPROXIMATELY 95,000 MILE I HAD MY ROCKER ARM SHAFT LIFTER ASSEMBLY REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY DUE TO A BROKEN ROCKER ARM AND LOUD KNOCKING NOISES COMING FROM MY ENGINE. 10,000 MILES LATER A ROCKER ARM BROKE ON THE NEW ASSEMBLY. I RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE AND IT IS A KNOW PROBLEM WITH DODGE CHARGER 3.5L ENGINES. THERE IS A DEFECTIVE PART IN THE ASSEMBLY THAT CAUSES THE ROCKER ARM TO BREAK. PEOPLE HAVE REPLACED THIS ITEM IN THEIR ENGINE NUMEROUS TIMES. THE ROCKER ARM SHAFT LIFTER ASSEMBLY SHOULD BE RECALLED. PEOPLE PAY OVER $1500 FOR THIS REPAIR JUST TO HAVE FAULTY PARTS INSTALLED AND HAVE THE SAME ISSUE OVER AND OVER AGAIN. THERE ARE MULTIPLE FORUMS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM WITH DODGE'S 3.5L ENGINE. *TR
