Does anyone know what, exactly, Consumer Reports said about the car that made it "unreliable?"
Welcome daveandseig Congratulations on taking delivery of your new baby. I did not read the Consumer Report myself as it would be irrelevant here in Australia. Someone will no doubt drop by and answer that one for you.

Welcome to you too Daddy Kool . That clicking noise you are hearing is normal for the Hemi. Most members reckon it is the lifters and certainly for me it was more conspicuous when the motor was cold (but then that was usually in my garage where the noise was more easily heard).
