| Description of the problem | To whom it may concern: i am a srt owner who loves his truck, but not happy with the design of the 6. 4 hemi engine. As one of the highest costing jeeps in your line up i would assume i would have no problems with it after 77,000 miles. Unfortunately, my engine had lifter failure which destroyed my engine. This happened on the throggs neck bridge while i was driving with my family. Upon further research i've found hundreds of other srt owners suffered the same problem incurring thousands of dollars if they didn't blow their engine from the flaw of the design of the engine. At this point how is there not a recall? Does it take a class action lawsuit because this is unheard off. Completely disappointed and would never buy another jeep let alone recommend buying anything from jeep chrysler fiat. Sincerely, [xxx] 2014 jeep srt owner information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6). |
