Theres a problem with the lifters.They are of the "MDS" type.If exposed to too much pressure while cold they appear to have a issue with the needle bearings failing.This problem was corrected on two other occasions and repaired.Its making the same noise again.Prior to this i had contacted the California Dispute Settlement Program as this purchase was from that state and had suggested they replace the cam and lifter setup to one of a non-MDS type and a high volume oil pump and Dodge denied my request.While the vehicle was repaired, they didnt provide documentation as to what was done although i was told the first time it was repaired they had indeed replaced lifters.

ting to formally report an ongoing and unresolved safety issue with my vehicle that poses a serious risk both to myself and others on the road. The core issue appears to involve high-voltage faults and CAN bus voltage exceeding threshold limits-?"likely tied to the vehicle-??s telematics system. Despite this, the vehicle is currently not communicating properly, and the diagnostics data are inconsistent or inaccessible. Here are the key concerns: -??The vehicle has shut down multiple times while in motion, creating a dangerous situation. -??It is only achieving ~10 MPG, a drastic drop from expected efficiency. -??I was explicitly told not to drive it until the problem is resolved due to safety concerns. -??The dealership has refused to repair the issue and has provided false information regarding diagnostic codes, which I-??ve recorded for documentation. -??This problem has persisted for nearly a year without resolution. At this point, I-??m left with a vehicle that is unsafe to operate and a dealer network unwilling to take accountability. I-??m requesting a formal investigation into this matter, as it may reflect a broader systemic or manufacturer-level issue affecting others as well. I can provide supporting documentation, service records, and recordings of diagnostic readouts as needed. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

since the purchase of my vehicle one year ago, my vehicle has consistently had codes that listed output to each headlamp, can bus code, it has also had engine control module code. This started a year ago and as of yesterday it still had codes. The code also include telematics and my infotainment system says fatal error. I have filed multiple complaints withFCA US LLC and have gone to the dealership multiple dealerships many of times. THE DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED IT FROM HAS BASICALLY REFUSED TO FIX IT EVEN THOUGH IT-??S UNDER WARRANTY. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE HIGH VOLTAGE AND THE COMMUNICATIONS IN THE VEHICLE ALONG WITH THE ENGINE CONTROL MODULE. IT SEEMS NO ONE SYSTEM SHOWS. I HAVE RECALLS YET THERE SEEMS TO BE TWO ON THE VEHICLE. ALSO MY SOFTWARE ON THE VEHICLE IS AT STAGE NUMBER 24 AND IT SHOULD BE AT 39 AND NO ONE SEEMS TO BE ABLE TO UPDATE
