Consumer Description

HAD TWO MECHANICS LOOK AT THE ENGINE, AND BOTH SAID THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR. THEN WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID OUR WARRANTY IS UP AND THERE'S NOTHING THEY CAN DO. THEY DID OFFER US TRADE IN. HOW IRONIC? UPON LOOKING AT YOUR COMPLAINTS DATABASE I CAN SEE THAT I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH A HEAD GASKET FAILURE. WHY CAN'T SOMETHING BE DONE ABOUT THIS, I'LL NEVER, NEVER BUY ANOTHER [XXX] DODGE AGAIN. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
