With 2,700 miles on my new Dodge Durango, i was in park in a lot idling, the engine started to tick and then miss badly. Had to have it towed to the dealer by Chrysler. They said it had a mechanical head failure (valve stuck), it bent and broke 2 push rods on #5, but said the valve didn't hit the piston. The replaced the head, 2 push rods, and all of the lifters on the driver's side bank. I saw the valve and didn't notice any obvious damage, but now it runs sluggish. Waiting for the dealer to advise on the problem and resolution.

That's terrible, just keep on them. I wonder if there was any cam lobe damage.

I just bought the 22 Durango DT plus with tow and go and melted the engine and coolant system in a record 282 miles. 40 days later just got it back today so I feel your pain! It’s unreal
