I HAVE A 2006 DODGE CHARGER THAT SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. VEHICLE HAS 97284 MILES. I CURRENTLY HAVE THE VEHICLE IN FOR REPAIR AT PHILLIPS CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP IN OCALA FL. THE PCM HAS BEEN REPLACED BUT THIS ISSUE STILL CONTINUES. VEHICLE SHUTS OFF WITH OUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING.

MY 2006 DODGE CHARGER DAYTONA 5.7L ENGINE HAD A PROBLEM WITH A VALVE SEAL/LIFTER / SOLENOID IN 2015, WHICH WAS REPAIRED BY THE DEALER IN DECEMBER. NOW, 7 MONTHS LATER, IT HAS LOST A PISTON IN THE ENGINE, AND NEEDS A NEW ENGINE. WHEN THE LIFTER PROBLEM OCCURRED, THE CAR WAS BEING DRIVEN, AND STARTED TO MISFIRE. WHEN THE PISTON WENT (THE DEALER SAYS THAT IS WHAT IT IS), THE ENGINE WAS BEING STARTED. WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE, IT MISFIRED, AND STARTED CLANKING. AND THEN DIED.

I DROVE MY VEHICLE TO THE STORE AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE. I CAME OUT AN HOUR LATER AND ATTEMPTED TO START THE CAR BUT IT WOULDN'T START. I ATTEMPTED TO START IT AGAIN AND IT STARTED BUT THE ENGINE SOUNDED HORRIBLE SO I TURNED IT OFF IMMEDIATELY. I HAD IT TOWED TO MY MECHANIC WHO SAID THERE WAS NO COMPRESSION ON CYLINDER #3 AND THE VALVE WAS UNSEATED CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE CYLINDER. I TAKE METICULOUS CARE OF MY VEHICLE AND THIS TYPE OF ENGINE FAILURE SHOULD HAVE NEVER HAPPENED WITH ONLY 105K MILES ON IT. UPON READING SEVERAL THOUSAND REVIEWS ON THIS 5.7L HEMI ENGINE, THIS APPEARS TO BE A MAJOR PROBLEM AND HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED AS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. THE BELOW IS THE DIAGNOSIS FOR THIS EARLY ENGINE FAILURE: "FAULTY VALVE SEATS ACCORDING TO THE ENGINE COMPANY, THE ORIGINAL CHRYSLER DESIGN PRESSES THE VALVE SEATS INTO THE CYLINDER HEADS. THE PROBLEM RESULTS WHEN THE POWDERED METAL THE VALVE SEATS ARE MADE OF EXPANDS, CAUSING IT TO DROP INTO CONTACT WITH THE VALVE AND PISTONS, WHICH LEADS TO CATASTROPHIC FAILURE. IN THIS PROCESS THE SEAT BREAKS INTO MANY PIECES CAUSING DETERIORATION OF THE PISTON, CYLINDER WALL, VALVE AND CYLINDER HEAD. THIS METAL CAN EVEN GET INTO THE INTAKE MANIFOLD ' IF NOT CLEANED PROPERLY, IT CAN LEAD TO A FAILURE IN REPLACEMENT ENGINES. PISTON RING LANDINGS AGAIN ACCORDING TO PP, A FLAW IN THE ENGINEERING OF THE PISTON RING LANDINGS RESULTS IN THE ENGINES RUNNING MUCH HOTTER THAN THEY SHOULD. COUPLED WITH WHAT THEY CALL OVERLY SMALL DRAIN HOLES IN THE HEADS AND BLOCK, THIS OVERHEATING BREAKS DOWN NEW OIL, LEAVING SLUDGE IN THE ENGINE, ULTIMATELY BLOCKING IT. CONSEQUENT OIL-STARVATION CAN LEAD TO ENGINE BLOCK SEIZURE."
