Consumer Description

MY VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON THE INTERSTATE. THE CAM SHAFT LIFTERS FAIL, CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE CAM SHAFT. THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM. THERE IS ALSO AN ISSUE WITH THE MANIFOLD BOLTS BREAKING OFF INSIDE THE ENGINE. WHEN I SPOKE WITH THE DODGE DEALER, HE ADVISED ME THAT HE DOES THESE REPAIRS ON A DAILY BASIS. IT IS A VERY COMMON AND WELL KNOWN ISSUE.
