NHTSA Complaint #11486289 — 2017 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE

THE 2014 - 2017 Jeep grand cherokee as well as many other chrysler mad 3.6lL v engines are all either past their standard warranty period or are approaching it. The problem i have specifically is that my car has under 50 k miles and i have a receipt showing it was bought in november of 2017, there for still under Jeeps powertrain warranty, and the headgasket is failing. ive been to multiple accredited mechanics before taking the vehicle to jeep how performed all the necessary test to concludits the gasket needs to be replaced. i then took it to a dealership who said " On thes 3.6L engines it extremely common for this to happen." i was then quoted 3k for the repair and dropped my car off. after 2 weeks of them having my car and me calling daily for updates i was finally told the car needs a new motor. which would cost 11k. I denied and called chrysler claims department who told me its out of warranty and I would have to pay out of pocket for the repairs before they would look into "how much they might be able to reimburse me" after searching online I've noticed this is a huge problem for many people. it seems as though Chrysler made an engine that will last 50 k miles and then have catastrophic engine failures. you might timed obsolescence. any way i hope this issue is looked into because this company, Chrysler is putting thousands of middle class Americans out of a vehicle or potentially into debt. hope to hear back soon [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
