Consumer Description

CAME HOME FROM WORK PARKED MY CAR. TEN FIFTEEN MIN LATER I TRIED TO GO TO THE STORE, CAR STARTED & DIED WOULD NOT RESTART. HALF AN HOUR LATER I GOT IT STARTED, BUT IT MAKE A CRUNCHING NOISE & RAN WITH A MISS FIRE. I LIMPED IT TO MY MECHANIC, THE CAR WAS BLOWING OIL SMOKE OUT THE TAILPIPES LIKE I HAD OVERFILLED IT. MY MECHANIC FOUND THAT THE VALVE SEAT ON # 6 CYLINDER HAD DROPPED RUINING BOTH PLUG, CYLINDER HEAD & PISTON. AFTER HE TOLD ME WHAT HAD HAPPENED I STARTED RESEARCHING THIS, LOOKS LIKE ANY 5.7 HEMI & OTHER MOTORS MADE BEFORE 2009 CAN BE EFFECTED. I'VE TRIED TALKING TO CHRYSLER ABOUT THIS ISSUE & WHEN THE HEAR MY CAR WAS NOT @ A DEALER I WAS STONEWALLED.
