NHTSA Complaint #11325874 — 2014 CHRYSLER 300

DRIVING THE CAR UNDER NORMAL LOAD,S TARTED TO NOTICE A KNOCK FROM THE ENGINE. OVER THE NEXT FEW WEEKS IT PROGRESSIVELY GOT WORSE. PULLED PLUGS, CHECKED OIL. GAS, PUT A BOROSCOPE DOWN THE SPARK PLUG HOLES LOOKING FOR ENGINE DAMAGE. FINALLY HAD TO HAVE THE CAR SENT TO THE SHOP. WHEN THEY GOT THE MOTOR TORN DOWN THE BAD LIFTER WAS DISCOVERED. UPON SEEING THAT & DOING SOME RESEARCH THERE ARE QUITE A FEW POSTS ON FORUMS ABOUT THE MDS LIFTERS ON THE 5.7 & 6.4 HEMIS GOING BAD & DESTROYING A CAM. I HAVE HAD OIL ANALYSIS DONE ON MOST OIL CHANGES THROUGH OUT OWNER SHIP BUT THIS WASN'T PICKED UP ON FROM THE LAST ONE. NOT SURE IF IT WENT OUT QUICK & DESTROYED THE CAM OR IF IT HAD BEEN HAPPENING FOR A WHILE. CAR ONLY HAS AROUND 75000 MILES.
