2013 engine problems

[Policy Limits]

Not yet. Just got the call from SRT and the written notice only days ago. And now there's ice and snow and salt as long over the New England roads, negative 40 temp just thus morning with wind chill. (What is this, Canada? Lol) so mine will probably be addressed in a month or two. When taking it to the typical crappy dealer for warranty work u just need to remember it's covered under warranty and insurance and just need to throw in the towel and stop caring about the car. Been there done that. I experience the opposite feeling when bring my Maserati in to the dealer.

So true. My Honda S2000 blew the #1 spark plug out of the head for no reason after the spark plugs had been in there for about a year. It was repaired with a helicoil type insert, but the engine ultimately imploded a year later, and I'm sure it was due to the original spark plug issue. My WRX STi engine imploded on me during a road trip to Vancouver in the middle of the night. I believe it was due to the faulty pistons Subaru put in the EJ257 motors, and have known about them for years, but never attended to the problem like FCA.

The bottom line is, high performance engines fail. They do it all the time for various reasons, some of which are never fully understood. It's part of the ownership experience, and something you need to accept prior to purchasing a sports car. You can go round and round attempting to minimize your exposure to risk by trying to figure out which vehicle's engine's are more likely to implode than others, but ultimately that is a futile exercise given the number of variables involved. Just accept that an engine failure could happen, and find the car you like.

Yeah, if you grew up in early 70s...just going on a 'vacation' in ANY CAR meant you'd probably break down either coming or going...!
