Consumer Description

CAR WAS OPERATING JUST FINE NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS OR ANYTHING OF THAT NATURE STOPPED AT WAL-MART AND WAS IN STORE FOR ABOUT 30 MINS.. CAME OUT AND WENT TO START CAR AND IT SOUNDED LIKE A POPCORN POPPER FULL OF METAL AND STARTED SMOKING SO BAD IT FILLED ENTIRE PARKING LOT WITH SMOKE SO THICK THAT YOU COULDN'T SEE 3 FEET BEYOND YOUR FACE.. SO HAD TO PULL CAR HOME AND WHEN I PULLED VALVE COVER AND PLUGS ON LEFT SIDE I NOTICED MERAL SHAVINGS IN CYLINDER 1 AND PLUGS IN CYLINDER 4 WERE COMPLETELY SMASHED SMASHED IN ON THEMSELVES ( GAP GONE ).. APPARENTLY THE VALVE SEATS DROPPED INTO CYLINDERS AND PUCTURED PISTONS... I HAVE LOOKED ONLINE AND IT SEEMS THAT THIS HAS BEEN A PRETTY REGULAR OCCURRENCE WITH OTHER 2006 HEMI CHARGERS...
