Consumer Description

MY 2014 DODGE CHALLENGER OVER HEATED WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I PULLED OVER AND FILLED THE RESERVOIR WITH ANTIFREEZE. I DROVE LESS THAN A MILE DOWN THE ROAD AND IT OVER HEATED AGAIN.WHEN I CHECKED THE RESERVOIR IT WAS EMPTY. SO I PULLED OVER AND CALLED A TOW TRUCK TO TAKE IT TO THE MECHANIC. THE MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT I NEED TO HAVE THE OIL FILTER/ OIL COOLER ADAPTER HOUSING, INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET REPLACED. THIS WILL COST ME $788. THE PART I NEED IS ON BACK ORDER FROM THE MANUFACTURER. IN FACT THERE ARE OVER 34,000 OF THIS PARTICULAR PART ON BACK ORDER BECAUSE THIS IS SUCH A COMMON ISSUE WITH CHRYSLER, JEEP, AND DODGE CARS. HE WAS SHOCKED THAT THIS PART HAD NOT BEEN RECALLED YET. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHEN THIS PART IS RECALLED. IF I PAY OUT OF POCKET TO FIX THIS VERY COMMON ENGINE ISSUE, WILL I GET REIMBURSED ONCE IT IS RECALLED?
