The timing chain on my 2010 Auto RT broke last Friday, ~40,000 miles. I was traveling on the highway in the left lane, the car slowly started shutting down and completely died once I got to the shoulder.

What bothers me also is that even if one auto-sticks for life OR disables MDS by programmer, we do not know if that will stop a TC failure.
To tell you the truth, If it were to happen to me, I will do all legally possible to get a long block installed. If I can't, I'll sell the car and never be Mopar again. Beautiful car beyond my dreams, but something like this is bad. I just don't trust the monkeys they call mechanics to tear a engine down and get it to perform like before the failure.

not having read every post, not sure if someone mentioned this or not.
I am a business owner, and if you look at this from that point, along with some numbers I can find there are approx 188,000 Challengers built to date and we have 39 failures listed here, so even if we increased the failure rate 10 fold we have 390 failures.
it would take 1800 failures to reach 1% failure rate. look around you how many people, products,services have a 1% failure rate???? yes if it is your car it hurts,
but in the big picture it is a non existant problem.
correct me if I am wrong..............
O.K. going to do a little self correction
we will limit this to R/T production of 68697 units
so we need 686 failures to reach 1%
and there are 29 cases listed so we need 657 more
