THE 5.7 LITER HEMI MOTOR IN ALL CHRYSLER VEHICLES HAVE THIS SIMILAR ISSUE. THE DRIVER SIDE EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS BREAK AND AN EXHAUST LEAK SPUTTERS OUT OF THE DRIVER SIDE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. I SPOKE TO SEVERAL MECHANICS AND CHRYSLER SERVICE TECHNICIANS AND THEY ALL CONFIRM IT IS A COMMON REPAIR. I HAVE ALSO SEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ONLINE. THE COST TO REPLACE THE MANIFOLD AND DRILL OUT THE BROKEN BOLTS IS AROUND $700.00. ALTHOUGH THIS IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE I STILL BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE RECALLED INSTEAD OF THE MANUFACTURER PASSING THE BILL TO THE CONSUMER. IT OCCURS TO NEARLY ALL 5.7 LITER HEMI ENGINES AT SOME POINT. *TR

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED WOULDN'T RESTART FOR SEVERAL TRIES THEN FINALLY DID. NEVER STALLED AGAIN UNTIL RECENTLY. SOMETIMES IT STARTS IN NEUTRAL OTHER TIMES IT HAS TO BE PUT IN PARK. UPON RESTART VEHICLE DRIVES AS IF NOTHING HAS EVER HAPPENED. IT NOW STALLS AT IDLE OR WHEN ACCELERATING OR EVEN WHILE DRIVING AT A STEADY RATE OF SPEED. I HAVE BEEN PAYING CLOSE ATTENTION TO THE KEY POSITION AND IT SEEMS NORMAL IN THE ON POSITION AND DOESN'T SEEM TO BE THE REASON BEHIND THIS ERRATIC STALL SITUATION. NUMEROUS ACCOUNTS OF SIMILAR SITUATIONS HAVE BEEN NOTED HERE AND ON OTHER WEBSITES. I KEEP MY VEHICLE WELL MAINTAINED AND TUNED, IT RUNS GREAT. MANY TIMES WEEKS OR MONTHS GO BY WITHOUT ANY STALLS. *TR

DRIVING ON HIGHWAY 91 SOUTH CHECK BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON THEN CHECK ENGINE AND THEN ALL WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THEN SPEEDOMETER, LIGHTS AND ENGINE SHUT OFF SHORTLY AFTER AT 65 MPH. . .VERY DANGEROUS HAD TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY WITH HEAVY WEEKEND TRAFFIC. TOWED JEEP TO CHRYSLER DEALER WHERE THEY GOT CODE B229 AND B1A35. DEALER REPLACED WIN MODULE(IGNITION) AND NEW KEYS. SEEMS TO BE RUNNING OKAY AT THE MOMENT. HAD TO PAY DEALER ALMOST $800. TO RECTIFY NOT TO MENTION THE TOWING AND RENTAL COSTS. THIS ITEM SHOULD BE RECALLED AND WE SHOULD BE REIMBURSED! *TR
