Our extended vehicle warranty expired 2 months ago. This was definitely required on the older Chrysler 2. Oil changes were done every 3,000 miles, fluids always checked. Gonna replace mine, along with thermo … stat this week. More commonly you'll find the coolant is expanding and overflowing. The problems didn't stop there, however. The cooling system has to be bleed of air.
Since I only have 116,000 miles on it and service it regularly, I find this to be a defect. I was lucky I hadnt even left my driveway when it happened!! The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed but the cause of the failure was not found. Im afraid of getting stuck in the rain or engine going bad if I don't fix this. Now I know why I dont have inside lights we unhooked them cause they wouldnt go off. This has happened again 4 more times all at low speed. Upon examining the vehicle there was no flat tire. The manufacturer was notified who offered no assistance.
Valves, lash adjuster, piston rod or bearings may all be destroyed directly due to poor design and low quality components from fca. The failure mileage was approximately 140,000. Left vehicle for a few hours, returned later to start and loud clunk coming from motor. In the original question, the use of tap water was brought up. Once the water is flowing through the hose, it will siphon the reservoir empty.
I had no warning of this. I have also fulfilled the earlier recall of having the rewiring of all the vehicle. You obviously have to remove the serpentine belt to move the alt … ernator. Lifted hood and found intake to be totally covered in water. Let the engine run until the upper radiator hose starts to get hot. They informed me the motor had blown a rod.
The contact stated the engine began rattling abnormally. It is sitting at a repair shop because its going to be expensive and I don't have the money. As you are standing in front of the car after raising the hood, look right to the left of the intake manifold. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. So every time I bring it to a repair place I have to pay. I ended up running into a couple small tree's and finally stopping.
In these bad economic times people can't afford to loose what they have worked so hard to keep. There is a safety tab on it to keep hot coolant out of your face.

On Tuesday, March 1, 2011 we cranked the Durango and it immediately began knocking extremely bad. I was very lucky that this didn't happen while traveling down the highway. Its pretty sad to drive by my truck every day in a cab! I had bought the car with over 60K miles and I put less than 20K on it from the time I purchased until the time the engine went. I went out and tried to start the Durango.
The vehicle made no other sound prior and drove 100% fine the day before. I attempted to start the ignition again, and once again the engine knocked, shaked and had shut down once more. I was almost hit by oncoming traffic. Loosen the belt tensioner, remove the old one and replace with a new one making sure each pulley is ran exactly right. I parked the vehicle Friday night and all day sat.
Connecting rod simply broke in half for no reason. As the result, our radiators deliver reliable performance even under the most demanding conditions. When I did a tune up Feb 2010 at the dealer, mechanic mentioned that he found the coil moist, which was odd. Don't bother measuring the freeze point for a few days. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. Vehicle has 103,000 miles on it and has had regular maintenance and oil changes.
