Be gentle Doc. To be fair, I believe this is the one of the first if not the first example of a catastrophic failure from the factory with the 2.4L.

Of course, I could just be hopeful because we own two of them. This one that has failed and my daily driver also has the 2.4L. We actually bought my wife's car because mine has been flawless through 33000 miles. I get 30 mpg in mixed city/highway and the 170 horsepower is just enough to keep me happy in between Crossfire runs.
