Consumer Description
WHILE DRIVING AND DURING ACCELERATION VEHICLE BEGAN SHAKING AND ENGINE LIGHT STARTED FLASHING. TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY DIAGNOSED CAM SHAFT AND PISTON PROBLEMS. $4,464 AND THERE'S ONLY 103,000 MILES ON ENGINE. I WAS ONLY 3,000 MILES OVER EXTENDED WARRANTY. CHECKED ONLINE AND THERE'S MANY MORE WHO ARE HAVE HAD SAME PROBLEMS. STILL OWE $20,000 ON TRUCK. DODGE SHOULD HAVE TO RECALL THIS. I'M NOT A RICH PERSON, HAD TO TAKE OUT A LOAN IN ORDER TO PAY BUT THEY STILL HAVEN'T FIXED IT YET BECAUSE THE SPECIFIC PART IS ON BACK ORDER. THAT SHOULD TELL YOU SOMETHING.
