Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)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.
