2008 DODGE CHARGER Complaints

WAS PULLING INTO A GAS STATION AND THE ENGINE STALLED. WENT TO START IT AND WOULD NOT START HAD IT TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACED THE STARTER. AS SOON AS IT STARTED UP THERE WAS A KNOCK ON THE ENGINE. AS THE MECHANIC CLAIMED IT'S "ROD KNOCK" AND CLAIMED THAT THE OIL WAS NEVER REPLACE. THE PLACE THAT I BOUGHT IT FROM DID THE OIL CHANGE AND HAVE PROOF THEY DID IT. THE ENGINE RAN FINE BEFORE HAND AND NO LONGER OPERATES CORRECTLY. *TR
