Consumer Description
At 93500 miles, the check engine light came on. I immediately had it checked by my mechanic and the code was identified as a P301, (Cylinder 1 misfire.) Service was scheduled. At time of service, it was determined that the cylinder head gasket has failed and is leaking coolant into the cylinder, causing the misfire. I have given the shop approval to replace both cylinder head gaskets at an estimated cost of $4500. Loss of coolant can cause catastrophic engine failure, especially while driving. This vehicle is sold as a family vehicle, and can likely be transporting children. This appears to be a known and common engine failure issue and has not been addressed by the Chrysler corporation.
