CAR STALLED ON ME A FEW DAYS AGO IN DOWNTOWN LA DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC WITH MY 2 KIDS... COME TO FIND OUT THAT SUPPOSIDELY THE CAR OVERHEATED (NO SIGNS OF OVERHEATING AT ALL, GAUGES WERE ALL OKAY, AND SENSORS WERE CHECKED AND OK, NO SMOKE ETC.) HOWEVER IT OVERHEATED AND WARPED BOTH OF MY HEADS, BLEW MY GASKETS AND BROKE MY TIMING CHAIN. THIS REPAIR HAS TAKEN OVER A WEEK TO FIX AND $2700.00 DOLLARS LATER AND I AM STILL NOT THRILLED. I WILL DEFINATELY NEVER BUY A DODGE AGAIN.*AK
