Consumer Description

I HAVE A CAMSHAFT FAILURE IN A 2011 RAM 1500. IT DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSTATE IN A TRAFFIC JAM AND HAS ME STUCK 400 MILES FROM HOME. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND IT COST ABOUT 5000 DOLLARS TO FIX. IT IT OBVIOUSLY A MANUFACTURER DEFECT BECAUSE THERE ARE WAY TOO MANY REPORTS OF THIS. MY VEHICLE IS REGULARLY SERVICED WITH FULL SYNTHETIC MOTOR OIL AND I RUN MID GRADE OR PREMIUM FUEL ALL THE TIME. THIS PROBLEM IS WITH ALL 5.7L HEMI'S NOT JUST THE RAM. MY FRIEND HAS A CHARGER WITH THE SAME ISSUE
