Consumer Description

The check engine light came on, we took it to a auto zone it showed cylinder 2 misfire. We repaired the spark plugs and spark plug housing units. The check engine light was still on after that. So we took it to a shop had them run a diagnosis again and the same cylinder 2 misfire came back. They took out and replaced all the spark plugs and housing units again and even replaced the fuel pump. Reset the check engine light and it still came back on. Upon checking the internet for possible issues, I found it was reported from over 100 Dodge Grand Caravan owners this same exact issue. After doing the tune up exactly as we did replacing the same parts we have replaced twice they have all still had the same issue. This has been found that it is an engine cylinder that has gone bad. I do not see how this cannot be considered a recall when multiple owners have had the exact same issue. This is only a 2018 vehicle and to already have major engine issues is not ok and to see that I am not the only one. I would appreciate some looking into this problem to see about having the issue made into a recall. This is at least a $3,000.00 fix. That's not an easy pill to swallow on a new vehicle.
