Consumer Description
Engine 3.6l non-hybrid has bad head gaskets/heads causing misfire and dangerous potential for vapor lock and engine failure. This is a known issue and there is a recall for the exact same vechile and engine up to 2016. Mine is a 2017 so its not covered in the recall for the exact same condition with the exact same engine. Spoke to manufacturer today they looked at offering some assistance in the price to fix the known issue, unfortunatley I bought the car used (paid over $25,000 in 2018) due to this the manufacturer can not assist in anyway. This is a known issue that is well documneted online by thousands of upset customers. I have no choice but to pay an exorbitant amount to have it fixed before it vapor locks going down the road and hurts my family.
