The lifters and tappets in the 3.6L Chrysler V6 become prematurely worn, interfering with the engine’s ability to provide power to the vehicle while driving. This results in safety issues where the vehicle will not accelerate adequately at low speeds, which surprises other drivers and places the driver and passengers in our van at increased risk of collision.

The rocker arms have failed twice and caused a constantly flashing check engine light.

This 2014 Town & Country stalls while driving, even when driving on the highway. It is extremely dangerous to me, and especially to my wife and children ! The check engine light comes on when it is about to stall. My ASE Certified mechanic read a P0302 trouble code. This means that #2 cylinder has a misfire. The mechanic replaced all spark plugs and coils, but the same missfire remains. The actual problem is a defective cylinder head on the left bank. This was determined by a cylinder leak-down test, which shows that #2 exhaust valve is leaking compression. This defective left (#2,4,6 cylinders) cylinder head is well known by all FCA Dealers. My dealer says that ALL of his mechanics have a great deal of experience doing this defective cylinder head replacement. Tens of thousands of left cylider heads have been replaced under an EXTENDED WARRANTY PROGRAM, issued and approved by FCA, which extends engine warranties on their 3.6 LITER ENGINES to 10 YEARS or 150,000 miles. When I try to get my vehicle's defective cylinder head replaced under the EXTENDED WARRANTY FCA PROGRAM, FCA says that they will only replace the defective cylinder head on 2011, 2012, and 2013 vehicles ! They will not cover my vehicle ! Please help, before this engine defect causes a major accident for my family.
