Consumer Description
I HAVE A 2006 DODGE MAGNUM R / T V8 5.7LTS. ON JULY 24, 2015 I WAS USING MY CAR AS USUAL, I WENT TO THE BANK, I WENT TO TURN OFF THE VEHICLE MAIL WHEN I RETURN TO MY CAR I'LL LIGHTS ON AND THE ENGINE FAILING WITH AN INTERNAL NOISE. I TURN OFF THE ENGINE IMMEDIATELY, I CALL MY MECHANIC AND TELLS ME TO CALL A TOW TRUCK AND TO TAKE THE VEHICLE. WHEN THE MECHANIC CHECK THE CAR INFORMS ME THAT HE WILL OPEN THE MOTOR. WHEN YOU OPEN THE ENGINE INFORMS ME DAMAGE A VALVE SEAT AND IT HAD DAMAGED THE PISTON. THE VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN HEATED, BEFORE TURNING IT OFF IN THE MAIL WAS WORKING VERY WELL. THE CAR ONLY HAS 60,000 MILES, HAS ITS DAILY MAINTENANCE, THE VEHICLE IS NOT IN DAILY USE. TAKE VALVE CAPS FIX THE MACHINE SHOP AND WAS TOLD THAT THE TOPS OF THESE ENGINES HEMI HAS MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND IS NOT BEEN THE ONLY ONE WITH THAT KIND OF PROBLEM. CHRYSLER (TRIANGLE) PUERTO RICO DEALER IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM BUT HAVE NOT DONE ANYTHING ABOUT IT.
