Description of the problem | On 9/26/13 i was driving on the interstate at approx. 60 miles per hour, i then saw several warning lights come on the dash and the car lost all power, luckily i was able to coast down a bridge and off to the side of the road. The car had to be towed to the local dodge dealership the next day. After a tear down of the engine, i was told that the timing chain broke and caused extensive engine damage. 2 weeks later and i'm still waiting on the parts to be delivered to the dealership and the repairs to be made. After doing some research online, i see that there are several other dodge challenger owners with this year and engine type who have had the same problem. Since i have done all of the required scheduled maintenance, i feel that i am not at fault for this issue. I now await to see the outcome of how my car performs once these extensive repairs are made and how this will effect my trade in value. |
