NHTSA Complaint #11120018 — 2006 DODGE CHARGER

AFTER DROPPING MY DAUGHTER AT SCHOOL THAT DAY IN MY CAR, I WENT HOME AND PARKED THE VEHICLE IN MY DRIVEWAY. WHEN I WENT TO PICK HER UP THAT AFTERNOON MY CAR WOULD NOT TURN OVER. IT NEVER LEFT MY DRIVEWAY BEFORE IT WAS TOWED TO A MECHANIC. DODGE HEMI 5.7 L ARE NOTORIOUS FOR PREMATURE ENGINE FAILURE DUE TO A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. THE VALVE SEAT DROPS INTO THE PISTON CAUSING CATASTROPHIC AND SUDDEN ENGINE FAILURE. THE REASON FOR MY COMPLAINT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE COST INVOLVED TO REPLACE MY TRANSPORTATION. THE DAMAGE HAS BEEN SAID AND DONE. THE REASON FOR THIS COMPLAINT IS THE THOUGHT THAT MY CAR'S ENGINE HAPPENED TO FAIL MINUTES BEFORE MY DAUGHTER WAS IN THE CAR. HONESTLY, IF THE ENGINE FAILURE WOULD HAVE HAPPENED WHILE THE CAR WAS IN MOTION, WHETHER IT BE IT IN A 20 MPH SCHOOL ZONE OR ON THE FREEWAY AT 70 MPH TO HER FAVORITE STORE TO GET A TREAT AFTER SCHOOL; I PROBABLY WOULD'VE NOT KNOWN WHAT TO DO. THIS DEFECT COULD HAVE VERY WELL CAUSED A WRECK HURTING ME MY EIGHT-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER AND POSSIBLY OTHER PEOPLE. I TRULY JUST DON'T WANT THIS TO HAPPEN TO SOMEONES LITTLE GIRL OR ANYBODY. CAN YOU PLEASE RESEARCH AND INVESTIGATE THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED OR HURT? IT'S JUST NOT RIGHT AND DODGE IS HOLDING NO RESPONSIBILITY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.
