TIMING CHAIN BROKE CAUSING ADDITIONAL ENGINE DAMAGE. HAD TIMING CHAIN REPLACED WHEN BROKE AT 59K MILES.. EVER SINCE REPAIRED LOTS OF MISFIRES ON ODD CYL. NOW RUNNING SO BAD HAD IT LOOKED AT AND SAID NOW CAM SHAFT AND LIFTERS NEED REPLACED. ALTHOUGH TIME CHAIN STILL INTACT, I BELIEVE THIS DAMAGE WAS FROM THE PREVIOUS REPAIR OF TIME CHAIN THAT SENT OUT PIECES INTO ENGINE CAUSING MORE PROBLEMS DOWN THE ROAD. DODGE WON'T COVER WITH TIME CHAIN RECALL. ONLY FIX TIME CHAIN NOT ALL THE DAMAGE THAT THE CHAIN BREAKING SENDING METAL PIECES INTO ENGINE PROBLEMS DOWN ROAD.
