    There is no way of knowing for sure but what percentage of Hemis would you guess have the engine issues that seem to occur?? 1 in 100? 1 in 50? 1 in 25? Worse?? The internet makes issues worse than they actually are but just wondering. I bought the extended warranty on mine 'just in case'. I would have bought it anyway for all the electronics in these cars nowadays. Is there any mileage point or certain model years involved or is it just an unknown?

    I think it's very, very low. Even 5% might be a little high ... but probably not by much.

    Gotta remember ... these engines are in a BUNCH of vehicles.
