Narrative

Engine Leaked oil from oil filter housing, Thank goodness my boyfriend put the fire out. very big problem he had to repair wires and replace lots of expensive parts because the small fire melted some of the intake and the valve cover. Im just thankful my boyfriend is a mechanic and could fix it for me. 800.00 in just parts. just to find out that there is a updated part that would not leak. But Waldorf dodge Sold me the same part he took off. so its destined to happen again. Chrysler should be ashamed of their design. They put my family at risk and my vehicle. I checked for recalls on it and its not there.
