Description of the problem | Camshaft on hemi engines are defective and fail causing engine to fail and costing owner $6,000 to repair. This defect is effecting thousands of these engines and dodge/ram not doing anything about it. Had mine repaired for $6,000 by a dodge dealership in ct. Since have come to find out this defect is rampant on these engines on many years of ram trucks with hemi engine. Dodge must own up to this and they must be recalled. Only federal government can get them to do this because it is the engine which is at stake. |
