Description of the problem | Started up my truck to go to town, engine came on about 5 min in the drive so i took it straight to o'reillys where they did the scan and the computer said misfire in cylinder 3. So we changed the spark plugs and took it back to reset the light, started it back up and light came on again with same explanation. So we parked the vehicle until we could find what was going on, talked to a mechanic and he said probably the cam/lifter problem, he looked at the vehicle seen i had a dropped valve seat(very odd for just starting up a vehicle) so we called dodge and they insisted they had to diagnosis it so we paid a towing company to haul it to them. Dodge called me back and said dropped valve seat but also cam/lifters need replaced. I dont see how dodge can just say it's on you to fix with this many vehicle owners all having the same problem. This is expensive fixes but not only that i have a truck with a loan payment that i cannot drive till it's fixed. |
