Consumer Description

I WENT TO THE PARKING LOT AT MY DR.S OFFICE TO GO HOME. I STARTED THE ENGINE AND THERE WAS A LOUD RATTLING TYPE SOUND AND THE ENGINE STALLED. IT WOULD NOT STAY RUNNING. LOTS OF SMOKE WHEN STARTED. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE LOCAL DODGE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS. WAS TOLD THE NEXT DAY THAT THERE WAS OVER 90% COMPRESSION. LOSS. INTERNAL CYLINDER OR OTHER FAILURE INDICATED. RECOMMENDED TEAR DOWN FOR $1850.00 ONLY 80,000 MILES, SERVICED REGULARLY BY THE DEALER. NO WARNING. I DECLINED THE TEARDOWN AND HAD CAR TOWED HOME. HAS BEEN PARKED SINCE OCTOBER 2016. RETIRED/DISABLED. I CANNOT AFFORD ANY MAJOR REPAIR. FACTORY DEFECT SHOULD BE FIXED BY MANUFACTURER.
