Description of the problem | Mileage was only 58k when i got a misfire code coming up in cylinder 2. I had a local mechanic look at it and he suspected it needed a tune up with new coil packs and spark plugs. We did that and still it came back on. Wasn't able to get into the dealer until 65k and now dealer says there is a leak in the valve of cylinder 2. Power train warranty is up at 60k so dodge won't do anything for us. They did tell me that other engines that were similar had a recall on them and extended the warranty for those that vin numbers matched that recall. They also informed me that i could get re-imbursed if they start the recall down the road. If the problem is known i don't understand why they won't cover it. Ashame a van with only 65k miles has such major problems with the engine. |
