Consumer Description

CAME OUT OF THE STORE TO START THE CAR. IT WOULDN'T START. ENGINE MADE A COINS SHAKING IN CAN NOISE. HAD TOWED TO A SERVICE CENTER, THEY ASKED IF IT HAD OVERHEATED, I SAID NO BECAUSE IT HADN'T SHOWN ANY SIGNS IT HAD. THEY SAID IT GOT SO HOT THINGS MELTED AND VALVE SEATS AND PISTONS WERE RUINED. I'VE READ ABOUT DODGE JEEP AND CHRYSLER HEMI 5.7S AND VALVE SEATS AND MANY PEOPLE HAD THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM WITH NO SURE REASON AS TO WHY. I BELIEVE THERE IS SOME DEFECT IN THE ENGINE ITSELF CAUSING THIS AND EXTENDED WARRANTY'S WON'T COVER CLAIMING BECAUSE VALVE SEATS AREN'T AN INTERNALLY LUBRICATED PART OR SOME BS REASON. NEEDS IMMEDIATELY LOOKED INTO I'M ABOUT TO LOSE MY CAR OVER IT!
