ENGINE FAILURE. MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE CAR AND IT WAS RUNNING FINE. SHE WENT INTO THE STORE AND CAME BACK OUT AND THE CAR WOULDN'T START. HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE AND IT WOULD BE $8000 TO REPAIR IT. I CONTACTED CHRYLSER CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO ANOTHER SHOP JUST TO FIND OUT WHAT WAS REALLY WRONG. I WAS TOLD THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2005-2007 5.7 HEMI MOTORS. HE TOLD ME IT'S NORMALLY CAUSED BY A INTAKE VALVE SEAT FALLING OUT. SURE ENOUGH WHEN HE TOOK IT APART THE #4 INTAKE VALVE SEAT HAD FELL OUT AND WRECKED THE #4 CYLINDER. I KNOW THIS MIGHT NOT BE A SAFETY ISSUE BUT I DON'T KNOW WHERE ELSE TO TURN. I'VE BEEN SEARCHING THIS ISSUE ONLINE AND THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE IN THE SAME BOAT AS ME AND WE CAN'T GET ANYTHING DONE ABOUT IT. THIS IS NOT A VEHICLE MODEL ISSUE THIS IS AN ENGINE ISSUE BECAUSE IT IS HAPPENING IN ANYTHING THAT THE 5.7 HEMI MOTOR WAS PUT IN AND MAINLY FROM 2005-2007. SOME PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN TO THEM WHILE DRIVING SO I'M JUST LUCKY THAT MY FAILURE HAPPENED WHEN MY WIFE WAS PARKED.

TRANSMISSION STUCK IN PARK. CHRYSLER HAS KNOWN ABOUT THE DEFECT FOR YEARS PUT US IN DANGER. CAR LEFT US STRANDED.
