Problems:
Oil consumption
V8 HEMI engines are known for higher oil consumption due to the design of the engine and the combustion process.
Mds (multiple displacement system) issues
The MDS system can sometimes fail, leading to rough idling, poor performance, or increased fuel consumption when the system is supposed to deactivate cylinders.
Timing chain problems
Some 2008 Dodge Chargers with V8 HEMI engines have experienced issues with the timing chain, which can lead to engine misfires or even catastrophic engine failure if not addressed.
Hemi tick
A characteristic ticking noise known as "Hemi Tick" can occur due to issues with the lifters or the design of the engine. While it is often harmless, it can sometimes indicate underlying issues.
Egr valve failure
The Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) valve can fail or become clogged, leading to poor engine performance, increased emissions, and potential engine stalling.
Cooling system issues
V8 engines, especially those with high performance like the HEMI, are prone to cooling system problems such as radiator leaks or water pump failures, which can lead to overheating.
Camshaft and lifter wear
Premature wear on the camshaft and lifters can occur, leading to reduced engine performance and the need for costly repairs.
