Consumer Description

AFTER GETTING OFF WORK AROUND 11:30 P.M. I WENT TO GAS UP AT A CHEVRON STATION. I LEFT THE STATION AND WENT TO THE ATM. AFTER LEAVING THE ATM I GOT BACK INTO MY VEHICLE IT CRANKED, WENT DEAD AND WOULD NOT START AGAIN . I HAD THE TRUCK TOW TO A SHOP AND ACCORDING TO THE MECHANIC THE VALVE FELL FROM THE ENGINE . NOW ACCORDING TO MECHANIC THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH DODGE. I AM CONCERNED BECAUSE THE ONLY MAJOR TROUBLE I'VE HAD WITH THIS VEHICLE IS GETTING SPARK PLUGS. IF THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM THEN MY 2014 DODGE THAT I HAVE PURCHASED WILL DO THE SAME TIME. *TR
