2010 Dodge Charger Engine Problems

Your engine may seize up (stop running completely) during normal use. Based on reports, this appears to be a widespread issue affecting many 2010 Dodge Chargers. The engine will need professional inspection to determine if it can be repaired or requires replacement.

While driving on the highway and then into town, you smelled gasoline and saw smoke coming from under the hood. When you stopped and opened the hood, you discovered flames coming from the engine area. Your dashboard showed no warning lights before this happened, and only your alertness in noticing the smell and smoke prevented a dangerous situation. This requires diagnosis of the fuel system and engine components for leaks, damaged fuel lines, or electrical shorts that could cause ignition.

Your engine is making a tapping noise, which is typically caused by worn lifters. Lifters are small components in your engine that help operate the valves, and when they wear out, they can create an audible tapping sound from the engine. This issue should be inspected and repaired soon to prevent further engine damage. Fixing this will likely involve replacing the worn lifters and possibly the pushrods.

Your car won't start and the engine warning light is on. This happened after 10 years of normal driving. The repair will likely involve diagnosing what's preventing the engine from starting—possibly a faulty starter, dead battery, fuel pump issue, or engine sensor problem.

Your timing chain fractured while driving at around 113,000 miles, causing your check engine light to come on. The dealer couldn't complete the repair because the necessary parts weren't available at the time. This is a serious engine component failure that requires replacement.

You're hearing a tapping noise coming from under the hood, even though you regularly get your oil changed at the dealership. You were concerned the engine might be about to fail, but you discovered online that this could be the "Hemi tick" — a known issue with this engine. Diagnosing the source of the noise and addressing any underlying engine timing or valve issues may be needed.

THE MECHANIC SAID THEY WAS NOT WORKING BUT MY CAR HAD NOT CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND WENT OUT ON THE INTERSTATE

BOUGHT MY 2010 CHARGER IN 2012. SLIGHT ENGINE TICKING WHEN COLD FROM DAY ONE. WORSE IN WINTER, BARELY NOTICEABLE IN SUMMER. AS TIME GOES BY, TICKING IS GETTING WORSE. CHECKED FOR ENGINE CODES AND NOTHING. CHECKED FOR OIL ISSUE AND NOTHING. TICKING IS GETTING MORE OBNOXIOUS, ESPECIALLY WHEN COLD. WHEN THE CAR WARMS UP IT FADES OUT SOMEWHAT. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH AND THERE'S A KNOWN ISSUE WITH 3.5HO ENGINES. ROCKER ARM ISSUE, PINS SHEAR OFF, ETC. DEALER CONFIRMED THIS IS MY ISSUE. BAD ROCKER ARM ASSEMBLY, LASH ADJUSTERS. FACTORY PART NUMBERS END WITH "AA" AND THE NEW REPLACEMENT PARTS WITH "AC." THIS IS ALSO AN INDICATION OF A KNOWN ISSUE. TICKING IS ON STARTUP, LOUDER WHEN ENGINE IS COOL. IT GETS BETTER WHEN IT IS WARM BUT AS OF RECENTLY, IT'S MORE CONSTANT. ROCKER ARM ASSEMBLIES NEED REPLACED ON BOTH HEADS, AND THE ESTIMATED COST IS $1100. WITH SO MANY PEOPLE HAVING THIS ISSUE, YOU WOULD THINK THERE WOULD BE A RECALL. MILEAGE IS 55,446 CURRENTLY.

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IN ONE YEAR - THE NO. 2 CYLINDER HAS BROKE. THE DEALERSHIP CAN NOT TELL ME WHY THIS IS HAPPENING. BUT THEY DID TELL ME THAT ALL REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE REBUILT - NO NEW PARTS. THAT IS OUTRAGEOUS. ALSO, IF THE PART GOES BAD AND RETURNED TO CHRYSLER/DODGE - THEY WILL NOT MAKE IT KNOWN WHAT THE PROBLEM IS TO THE DEALERSHIP OR TO THE CONSUMER.. THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE ENGINES IN THE 2010 DODGE CHARGERS. THEY ARE DECEIVING US. *TR
