Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	The vehicle was parked and i attempted to start the vehicle. The car was operating properly 3 minutes prior to attempted starts. The first attempt, the engine fired up and revved up but immediately died. Subsequent attempts were similar. After about 4 or 5 attempts, there was a large rattling noise and the engine became impossible to start. After towing the vehicle to a mechanic and having them open up the engine, we found that the valve seat had dropped out from the cylinder heads and must have caused the engine to operate incorrectly. The valve seat had shattered into many tiny pieces, which most likely caused the rattling noise. Upon investigation i have found that the valve seat dropping out is a common issue on the 5. 7l hemi engine in my jeep as well as other vehicles manufactured by dodge and chrysler. This is unsafe and should require the immediate action of chrysler to recall these vehicles and permanently fix the problem with their valve seats. *tt
