The mighty Dodge Hemi! I voluntered to help my friend with his 2009 Dodge Charger Hemi. It was throwing a code for #3 missfire. Make a long story short the #3 intake lifter roller was locked up and it smoked the cam lobe! This thing only has 70,000 miles on it!!All I can say is he should have bought a Chevrolet! What a P.O.S...

this type of thing just happens, i could see if it was a reg. occurrence then yeah i would say dodge sucks. as far as the bumper cover coming off to get to the headlights, a few cars are like that now so its nothing new.

MY son had same problem with # 3 with Y2K 5.3 with GM hot cam, looked like the same picture but more wear, the roller was worn completly flat. How ever the 5.3/hot cam ran perfect to 314000 HARD miles, the balance of the engine looked very good , no lip in top of cylender, does not use 1/2 quart oil ( casteroil syn ) in each changing/ 5 k miles, we install the OE cam with one new roller lifter ( had 30 k on it ) from my 5.7 and the 5.3 runs/sounds great, how ever my grand dauther just bought a new charger/hermi I will pass the warning on to her
