Hello, i am currently having a problem with my 5.7 hemi in my chrysler 300. i am facing issues with the notorious 'hemi tick' and it has gotten obnoxiously loud and annoying especially when parked against a building or on start up. the hydraulic lifters on the 5.7 engines are known to fail whether its in dodge chrysler or ram vehicles the vehicles runs perfectly fine, idles perfectly fine. i have never once had a problem with the vehicle except for the lifters that i'm soon going to have to change which in result may have even damaged my camshaft. my vehicle has 83k miles on it and feels like it could go a lot longer if myself and other v8 owners under chrysler didn't have the hydraulic lifter/ camshaft failures costing $1000s of dollars in parts and labor
The dealership diagnosed it with bad lifters. while driving the car the check engine light starts flashing , bad fuel fumes and shuts the gas off . i have to veer off the road to avoid getting hit . the dealership said there is a backorder on lifters 6 months. i not able to drive it very far because of the gas fumes and the worry of breaking down . need some answers asap!
Complete engine failure hwy speed, no brakes....timing chain break massive damage to engine. thankfully this happened at 130 in the morning! fca not warranting a recall warranty.
