2007 DODGE CHARGER AWD Engine And Engine Cooling Problems

MY ENGINE COOLANT HAS BEEN LEAKING AND CAUSED MY CAR TO OVER HEAT SINCE IT WASNT NOTICED. NO STEAM CAME OUT OF THE CAR TO ALERT ME THAT IT WAS RUNNING HOT WHILE DRIVING. MY CAR JUST AUTOMATICALLY SHUT DOWN AND WOULD NOT CRANK BACK UP. ONCE LOOKING UNDER THE HOOD I SAW THERE WAS NO COOLANT AND HOW IT HAD BEEN LEAKING AROUND THE VALVE. I REPLACED THE COOLANT THEN WENT INTO HAVE MY CAR SERVICED EVERY 3 MTHS AS USUAL. THE MECHANIC TELLS ME THAT HES NOTICED SEVERAL CHARGERS WITH THE SAME COOLANT LEAK IN THE VALVES. THIS SOUNDS LIKE A DEFECT TO ME. *TT
