Consumer Description

My 2016 having the same issue as many others and it seems to be a bad cylinder head. We have changed the coil and plug, but that didnt help. Apparently the #2 cylinder head is prone to this problem. Chrysler tells me that it is my problem, and they will not help with the $2700 repair (68,000 miles). I am searching to speak with someone further up the chain of command at Chrysler. Hopefully this helps.......cylinder #2 misfire on my 2016 Dodge Grand Caravan; problems in the valve seats/ cylinder head; I HAD THE SPARK PLUGS CHANGED AND STILL IDLED ROUGH AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON. I HAD A MECHANIC LOOK AT IT AND FOUND DEFECTIVE VALVE GUIDE IN CYLINDER. HE STATED THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS ENGINE HE SAID COMPRESSION ISSUE! How is there no recall on this issue? What needs to happen for Chrysler to address this major issue
