Consumer Description
LIFTERS FAILED AT 129,000 MILES. CAR BEGAN TO MISFIRE IN CYLINDER 5. REPLACES LIFTERS AND STILL GOT MISFIRE CODE AND TERRIBLE RUNNING CONDITIONS. IT WOULD HAPPEN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS DURING ACCELERATION FROM 60MPH AND ABOVE. TRUCK WOULD OBVIOUSLY MISFIRE, VIBRATE A LOT FROM THE ENGINE, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD APPEAR IMMEDIATELY AND WAS ALMOST NOT DRIVABLE. AND THIS ONLY HAPPENS RANDOMLY. ONE DAY IT RUNS FINE. THEN THE PROBLEM WOULD APPEAR AND NOT GO AWAY. IT'S FRUSTRATING AND COSTLY AND CHRYSLER HASN'T REVISED OR ADDRESSED THE ISSUE AT ALL. PARTS THAT WERE POSSIBLY DAMAGED: VALVES, VALVE SEATS, LIFTERS, CAMSHAFT, VALVE SPRINGS, ROCKER ARM, PISTONS, HEADS.
