My vehicle is unsafe to drive and is bad for my health and I am not going to drive this vehicle anymore I am blessed that I passed out at McDonald's drive though and not driving with my kids and passed out due to carbondoxide coming though the air conditioner and this should be reported immediately because I am having bad headaches a week later

There is a manufacturing defect in the car, after it has driven 120,000 kilometers or 200,000 kilometers, it causes problems in the engine’s cooling systems, which causes the car’s temperature to rise. It is also possible that the engine is damaged and needs to be replaced after that. The cooling system needs to be checked, improved, and treated for better and higher quality Note : After researching this problem on websites, I found that the car breaks down frequently in countries like Saudi Arabia due to the temperature of weather reaching 50 degrees Celsius.

V6 3.6 L Pentastar engine has serious misfire issues, I purchased a vehicle with 150k miles on it, it had check engine light on, I brought it to a local dealer service center in Dodge Koons/Tysons VA. After $900 diagnostics it was recommended to swap the engine for a brand new one. I agreed, after a month of waiting, I received my car back with the new engine installed total bill was almost $10000. After 6-7 months of driving with the new engine the check engine turned on again, so I wend back to Koons and they said the problem with the oil pressure sensor that is not cover under the engine warranty (another $550 bill). And yesterday on 02/25/2022 after a month from the last repair I had the check engine flashing again while I was driving on a highway, the car was vibrating, steering wheel was not responsive either. When I came home I found out that the flashing check engine light indicates a misfire. That means that the brand new engine has the same problem as the one that I recently replaced. This is definitely a manufacturing defect and it’s 100% not safe that they make engines like this. I will try to get my warranty though and will probably try to sell the vehicle after they fix it (hopefully no bill from Koons this time, but still 50 % unsure about it) , the fact that they produce and install them in cars is unprecedented in such a high volume (I read articles online that many people having this problem with their dodge vehicles), I’m an experienced driver but even for me it was scary to drive in such extreme conditions.

CAR WAS NOT RUNNING CORRECTLY HAD IT CHECKED AND CYLINDER 6 WAS MISSING WHICH WAS AN ISSUE IN THE FACTORY. THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER WARRANTY AT THE TIME. TOOK IT IN TO LAMPE DODGE VISALIA CALIFORNIA, WAS TOLD A LOANER OR RENTAL HAD TO BE APPROVED BY CORPORATE. THIS WAS NOVEMBER 8TH OF 2019, I HAVE CALLED AND NO ANSWER THEY REFER ME TO DIFFERENT PEOPLE AND NO ANSWER OR RENTAL CAR. I HAVE BEEN A PREVIOUS DODGE OWNER, AND THIS WILL BE THE LAST VEHICLE I PURCHASE FROM YOU. I HAVE BEEN PATIENT AND THE DEALERSHIP IS NO HELP NEITHER IS CORPORATE. I AM NOT ASKING FOR ANYTHING OTHER THAN WHAT IS RIGHT, THE MOST FRUSTRATING THING IS THE LACK OF FOLLOW THROUGH OR COMMUNICATION FROM DEALER AND CORPORATE. THE CORPORATE PERSON WE SPOKE TO WAS CURBIN AND HE HAD NO INFO AND BLAMED IT ON HIS SUPERVISOR FOR NOT APPROVING IT. I WILL BE TELLING EVERYONE I KNOW ABOUT THIS, AND I AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED WITH YOUR COMPANY AND HOW THEY HAVE TREATED ME. I SPOKE TO CORPORATE TODAY AND ZERO ASSISTANCE. THANKS A LOT
