NHTSA Complaint #11291121 — 2006 DODGE CHARGER

THE FIRST TIME MY MOTOR FAILED I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY 70MPH AND SOMEONE CUT ME OFF I HIT THE BRAKES GOOD ENOUGH TO BARELY AVOID THEM CRASHING INTO ME , WHEN I TRIED TO PUSH THE THROTTLE IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE MOTOR STARTED JUMPING BACK AND FORTH LIKE IT WANTED TO JUMP OUT OF THE ENGINE BAY , TOOK IT TO DODGE AND THEY SAID TWO OF MY CYLINDERS WERE ONLY RUNNING AT HALF THE COMPRESSION MEANING I HAD A VALVE ISSUE LIKE THESE CARS ARE WELL KNOWN TO HAVE NOW. WELL $5,000 LATER I GOT MY CAR BACK FROM DODGE WITH ONE HEAD REPLACED , JUST ABOUT 60K MILES LATER THE OTHER HEAD FAILED ON ME AND TRAVELED INTO MY OTHER HEAD DESTROYING THAT ONE AND MY PISTONS , JUST SPENT $9,000 TO HAVE THE MOTOR REPLACED AND NOT EVEN A 1,000 MILES LATER I'M HAVING THE SAME ISSUE . THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE I STILL OWE MONEY ON THE CAR AND I'VE SPENT UPWARDS OF $14,000 TO KEEP THIS CAR RUNNING . IT'S LEFT ME WITH NO WAY TO GET ME TO WORK IT'S LEFT ME STRANDED I'VE LOST A JOB BECAUSE I COULDN'T BE THERE I'VE MISSED OUT ON OPPORTUNITIES IN LIFE BECAUSE OF THIS CAR I'M 23 YEARS OLD AND THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON 4 YEARS NOW . I MAKE MINIMUM WAGE WORK 50HRS A WEEK THIS CAR HAS TAKEN A YEARS WORTH OF SALARY FROM ME AND MADE MY LIFE SO STRESSFUL I CAN NOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH , THIS HAS MADE MY LIFE VERY DIFFICULT IN THESE PAST 4 YEARS ... THE CAR IS CURRENTLY DOWN BECAUSE CYLINDER #2 ONLY HAS ABOUT 90PSI AND I DON'T KNOW WHY TO DO ANYMORE ... I HAVE NO CAR I WALK OR TAKE THE BUS TO WORK EVERYDAY I CAN NOT DO THIS MUCH LONGER ..
