I WAS DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 35MPH WHEN MY CAR STALLED. AND THEN EVENTUALLY TURNED OFF. HAS NOT TURNED ON SINCE. NO LIGHTS CAME ON OR WARNINGS OF ANY KIND. CAR ONLY HAS 78K MILES ON IT. DODGE IS NOT WILLING TO INVESTIGATE WHY MOTOR WENT OUT OR REPLACE IT.

VEHICLE HAD A HORRIBLE START UP SOUND. THE ENGINE CONSTANTLY KNOCKED AND I TOLD THE SHOP THEY WAITED UNTIL I HAD TO GET IT TOWED THERE. THE ENGINE WENT OUT AND MY WARRANTY PAID FOR IT BUT THEY STILL CHARGERED ME FOR THINGS I ASKED THEM ABOUT LIKE THE TERMISTAT AND THE COOLING FAN.... THE MECHANIC SAID THEY WAS NOT WORKING BUT MY CAR HAD NOT CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND WENT OUT ON THE INTERSTATE

BOUGHT MY 2010 CHARGER IN 2012. SLIGHT ENGINE TICKING WHEN COLD FROM DAY ONE. WORSE IN WINTER, BARELY NOTICEABLE IN SUMMER. AS TIME GOES BY, TICKING IS GETTING WORSE. CHECKED FOR ENGINE CODES AND NOTHING. CHECKED FOR OIL ISSUE AND NOTHING. TICKING IS GETTING MORE OBNOXIOUS, ESPECIALLY WHEN COLD. WHEN THE CAR WARMS UP IT FADES OUT SOMEWHAT. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH AND THERE'S A KNOWN ISSUE WITH 3.5HO ENGINES. ROCKER ARM ISSUE, PINS SHEAR OFF, ETC. DEALER CONFIRMED THIS IS MY ISSUE. BAD ROCKER ARM ASSEMBLY, LASH ADJUSTERS. FACTORY PART NUMBERS END WITH "AA" AND THE NEW REPLACEMENT PARTS WITH "AC." THIS IS ALSO AN INDICATION OF A KNOWN ISSUE. TICKING IS ON STARTUP, LOUDER WHEN ENGINE IS COOL. IT GETS BETTER WHEN IT IS WARM BUT AS OF RECENTLY, IT'S MORE CONSTANT. ROCKER ARM ASSEMBLIES NEED REPLACED ON BOTH HEADS, AND THE ESTIMATED COST IS $1100. WITH SO MANY PEOPLE HAVING THIS ISSUE, YOU WOULD THINK THERE WOULD BE A RECALL. MILEAGE IS 55,446 CURRENTLY. CAR HAD 20,000 WHEN PURCHASED.

AT APPROXIMATELY 95,000 MILE I HAD MY ROCKER ARM SHAFT LIFTER ASSEMBLY REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY DUE TO A BROKEN ROCKER ARM AND LOUD KNOCKING NOISES COMING FROM MY ENGINE. 10,000 MILES LATER A ROCKER ARM BROKE ON THE NEW ASSEMBLY. I RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE AND IT IS A KNOW PROBLEM WITH DODGE CHARGER 3.5L ENGINES. THERE IS A DEFECTIVE PART IN THE ASSEMBLY THAT CAUSES THE ROCKER ARM TO BREAK. PEOPLE HAVE REPLACED THIS ITEM IN THEIR ENGINE NUMEROUS TIMES. THE ROCKER ARM SHAFT LIFTER ASSEMBLY SHOULD BE RECALLED. PEOPLE PAY OVER $1500 FOR THIS REPAIR JUST TO HAVE FAULTY PARTS INSTALLED AND HAVE THE SAME ISSUE OVER AND OVER AGAIN. THERE ARE MULTIPLE FORUMS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM WITH DODGE'S 3.5L ENGINE. *TR

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IN ONE YEAR - THE NO. 2 CYLINDER HAS BROKE. THE DEALERSHIP CAN NOT TELL ME WHY THIS IS HAPPENING. BUT THEY DID TELL ME THAT ALL REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE REBUILT - NO NEW PARTS. THAT IS OUTRAGEOUS. ALSO, IF THE PART GOES BAD AND RETURNED TO CHRYSLER/DODGE - THEY WILL NOT MAKE IT KNOWN WHAT THE PROBLEM IS TO THE DEALERSHIP OR TO THE CONSUMER.. THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE ENGINES IN THE 2010 DODGE CHARGERS. THEY ARE DECEIVING US. *TR
