Engine over powers motor mounts and continuously rips them apart. *jb ***dimsii ivoq entry posted after 12/12/02 cut-over to artemis****765219
About 2 weeks after I bought it things startes happening,it was used with no warranty,my fault but I can't aford to fix dodge's mistakes. When it caught on fire I was going to work and was late besides almost wrecking. This vehicle is not safe. I want to trade it in and get something else but no one will take this car.
I have confirmed this problem with other drivers of the same car. The torque is too much for the engine mounts to handle.
Serpentine belt tension pully failed allowing serentine belt to fall off. Serpentine belt pully and belt had to be replaced at a cost of over $200.00. Vehicle out of warranty. Sepentine belt tension pully is a dealer item only.
Noise from engine/oil light on.
When turning a sharp corner/curve there's a weird sound, consumer thinks the engine is too big. All 4 bolts that hold the engine to the mount have broken. Angiuli 718‑727‑5800 dealership replaced 3-free 1st/2nd, for 1 was charged $300.
Engine pulley popped off, also head gaskets were leaking/ transmission rebuilt due to slippage/ hood was warped and air conditioning malfunctioned.

Consumer was driving stopped and start car accelerate pulled over turn car off there was black smoke coming out of the car . Tt
