| 2006 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE | ON OR ABOUT JUNE 6, 2006, I PURCHASED A 2006 DODGE MAGNUM 3.5 LITER ENGINE AND RECEIVED A LETTER IN LATER THAT YEAR ADVISING OF RECALL AN DEFECT IN THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN IN FOR INSPECTION AND I WAS TOLD THAT MY CAR WAS NOT APPLICABLE TO THE RECALL. IN JULY 2007, THE CAR WAS TAKEN IN BECAUSE OF CLAKING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE. THE CAR WAS DIAGNOSED AND VALVES FROM THE ENGINE WAS CHANGED. IN JUNE 2008 THE CAR CUT OFF AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED. THE VEHICLE WAS IMMEDIATELY TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC AND CORRECTION. THE FINDINGS WHERE THAT THE THERMOSTAT HAD TO BE REPLACED. RECENTLY MY CAR HAS BEEN TAKE TO THE DEALER BECAUSE A RECURRING NOISE AND ISSUE THAT WAS ADDRESS IN JULY 2007 AND THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURE IS DENYING LIABILITY FOR THE NOISE AND ISSUE. THE DODGE DEALER LOCATED IN CERRITOS IS ALLEGING THAT THEY HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER WHO ALLEGES THAT THE NOISE OF COMPLAINT IS NORMAL FOR MY VEHICLE, BUT I NEVER HEARD THIS NOTICE UNTIL JULY 2007 AND VALVES WAS CHANGED AND KNOW THE ISSUE HAS RECURRED. IN ADDITION, TO THE AFOREMENTIONED, THERE HAS BEEN A CONTINUOUS ISSUE AND COMPLAINT WITH THE BRAKE COMING ON. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN IN FOR EXAMINATION AND THE DEALER ALLEGES THAT THERE ARE NO ISSUES WITH THE BRAKE LIGHT. RECENTLY AS OF SEPTEMBER 2008, THE CERRITOS DODGE DEALER ALLEGES THAT THE BRAKE FLUID IS LOW ON THE VEHICLE WHICH IS CAUSING THE LIGHT TO CONTINUOUS COME ON. HOWEVER, THE BRAKE LIGHT HAS BEEN COMING ON SINCE TWO MONTHS AFTER THE PURCHASE OF THE VEHICLE AND HAVE ADDRESSED THE BRAKE LIGHT ISSUE AT REGULAR MAINTENANCE APPOINTMENTS AND THEY HAVE NEVER MENTIONED THAT THE BRAKE FLUID LOS. PLEASE ADVISE. I HAVE FURTHER DOCUMENTATION TO PROVIDE IF REQUIRED AND I ALSO CAN PROVIDE A DETAIL EXPLANATION AND COMPLAINT. *TR |
| 2008 | POWER TRAIN | THERE IS A PIECE IN THE DRIVING GEAR SHIFT THAT ALLOWS YOU TO SHIFT OUT OF PARK AND DRIVE YOUR VEHICLE. WHEN THIS PIECE BREAKS IT WILL NOT ALLOW THE GEAR SHIFT TO MOVE OUT OF PARK. THIS HAS BEEN OCCURRING IN MANY DODGE VEHICLES. I HAVE HAD FOUR OTHER PEOPLE COMPLAIN THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO THEIR CAR ALSO. IT SEEMS TO BE A LITTLE PLASTIC PIECE THAT SEEMS VERY EASY TO BREAK. IT IS INSIDE THE DRIVING GEAR SHIFT. IT WILL JUST NOT ALLOW THE VEHICLE TO MOVE OUT OF PARK BUT WILL ALLOW TO MOVE THROUGH DRIVE, REVERSE, AND THE OTHER SHIFTS. *TR |
