THERE WAS A SLIGHT NOISE UNDER THE HOOD AT TEST DRIVE AND THEY TOOK IT ONTO THEIR SHOP AND SAID THEY REPLACED SOMETHING, NOT SURE WHAT THEY SAID. BUT NOISE WAS REDUCED. I TOOK CAR FOR A DRIVE ACROSS COUNTRY AND WHEN I GOT TO MY DESTINATION MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I GOT THE COMPUTER READING TO FIND OUT IT WAS A CYLINDER 2 MISFIRE. THAT SHOP SAID IT COULD BE FROM A NUMBER OF THINGS, BUT THEY WERE NOT A SERVICE SHOP TO DO A DEEPER ANALYSIS. I THEN TOOK IT TO A SHOP THAT DID A FULL DIAGNOSTIC OF THE TRUCK . THEIR FINDINGS WERE REVEALED THAT THE COMPUTER WAS GIVING A CYLINDER 2 MISFIRE READING BUT THE PROBLEM WAS IN THE ENGINE. THEY WENT ON TO TELL ME THAT THEY HAVE BEEN SEEING THE SAME PROBLEM IN MANY OF THE DODGE 1500. WHEN THEY CALLED TO GET PRICES ON THE USED RECONDITIONED ENGINE, THEY WERE TOLD THAT, THERE ARE IS AN HUGE BACK ORDER FOR DODGE 1500 HEMI ENGINE DUE TO MANY PEOPLE ACROSS THE COUNTRY HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM ( CYLINDER 2 OR CYLINDER 8 MISFIRE) THIS IS DEFINITELY A TREND GOING ON WITH THIS MAKE VEHICLE. WITH THIS PROBLEM , VEHICLE LOOSES POWER AND OF COARSE THE SLIGHT HESITATION IN THE ENGINE. YOU CAN HEAR THE MISFIRING AND COULD FEEL IT WHEN I ACCELERATE ON THE ROAD AND HIGHWAY. WHEN ENTERING A HIGHWAY , IT IS VERY DANGEROUS DUE TO NOT BEING ABLE TO ACCELERATE ENOUGH TO AVOID ONCOMING VEHICLES

I BOUGHT 2012 RAM 1500 IN AUGUST 2018, I MAKE PAYMENT. THIS PAST APRIL VIBRATION AND HESITATION GOT WORSE, I HAD PLUGS REPLACED , DIDN'T HELP. FOUND OUT THAT LIFTERS NEEDED REPLACED AND CAMSHAFT. I SPENT $217 ON PLUG REPLACEMENT AND ADDITIONAL $4500 TO REPLACE LIFTERS CAMSHAFT. ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON NOW IT'S SAYING VAPORATION LEAK. I HAVE READ THAT THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF CUSTOMERS HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM AND NO RECALL FROM CHRYSLER. THIS IS MY FIRST DODGE, THIS WILL BE MY LAST DODGE UNLESS I GET COMPENSATION FROM CHRYSLER. I KNOW THIS TRUCK IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY, BUT CHRYSLER HAS TO KNOW THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THE HEMI , I WAS TOLD AT A DEALER THIS WAS COMMON IN HEMI , NO ONE TOLD ME THAT WHEN I BROUGHT I STILL OWE ON THIS TRUCK , PLUS I'M OUT $4667 THAT I CAN'T GET BACK IF I TRADED, ONLY HAD 8 MONTHS WHEN THIS HAPPENED. THIS DOESN'T INCLUDE THE THE VAP PROBLEM ON THE COST.
