Last week I started looking at some of the postings about the 3.6 engine problems. My Chrysler T&C had the oil filter housing failure. $900 fix per dealer covered by Max Care Lifetime Warranty. My resolve has been to keep the vehicle long term. Has every option, great performance and good fuel economy. A week ago I noticed the fuel economy dropped to 18mpg. Then yesterday the Check Engine light came on and I could see the idle speed fluctuating. Took it to dealer today and left it. Two hours later got the call. “Cylinder Head Replacement“. 5-7 days for parts. Without warranty repair would be $3000. Web search finds numerous failures of the engine in Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram and Promaster and class action lawsuits.
Despite the comfort of the warranty I see there are many reports of multiple failures even after repair.
I’ve owned at least thirty cars both new and used and never had one with engine failures like this.
It might be interesting to see how much more $$$$ in repairs it will take before Stellantis offers to buy out the warranty.
