Engine cylinder #2 misfire, I work as a sedan driver for a limousine company and I'm experiencing problems with my 2014 chrysler 300, took it to the repair shop because the check engine light was on, the diagnose was a misfire on cylinder #2, the shop replace spark plugs and coil packs, after resetting the check engine light the mechanic took the car for a road test and the engine light came back. After scanning the car again the same code came out for a misfire on cylinder #2. The tested fuel injectors and engine compression and everything was fine. I was told by the mechanic that the only fix is to replace the head cylinder. After talking to other drivers that own the same vehicle as mine, the told me that some of them are having the same problem, and 2 of them they did replace the cylinder head already. Due to the type of work we do we put a lot of miles on our vehicles, so far I 116,000 miles so I'm definitely not cover under warranty.

I was driving approx 60-65 MPH when vehicle lost all power, no steering, brakes or control of car. I pulled off road (lucky), restarted vehicle and it high RPM and vehicle not going anywhere. Towed vehicle into dealership where nothing was found wrong. In the mail I receive a p60 recall for the alternator which were ll these symptoms, indicating unsafe driving conditions. Great!!! Not!!!! No alternators to be found. I was told to drive the vehicle as is. This happened several times and towed back into dealership where they see no issues. They insist I drive this death trap. I asked if they would put their family in the car and they said "no". So of course I say but you wan tme to put my family in that car? After two months of back and forth, I get a new alternator put in. I test drive with manager, all seems well until a week later. The vehicle hit high RPM 6000-7000 with no control over accelerator and car didn't go over 25 MPH. Yes all of this with no rental from chrysler, no help from them as well. So I continue to pay for a car I can tdrive. Lemon law unit contacted and filed.
