Description of the problem | My wife and i purchased a 2018 dodge grand caravan in 2020 with 54000 miles on it. Its had a misfire on cylinder 4 but was told it was just a coil pack or spark plug. Finally, we had that financial means to put it in the shop and come to find out it had low compression in cylinder 4 which led to needing a new head. The mechanic that fixed this said that some other mechanics had mentioned heads being an issue on those engines. I contacted dodge and they said that since it had surpassed the 60000 mile factory warranty by 4500 miles that they could not help us. The only thing that they told me was if it does become a recall or be included in a warranty extension that i could get reimbursed. |
