Cylinder #1 misfire fuel injectors replaced 4/16/2024; 7/26/2024 cylinder #6 misfire and compression leak. Chrysler refuses to acknowledge additional issue with this 3.6L engine cylinder head. Customer service disconnected me when I asked to file a complaint. Called the Canadian phone number on X56 service bulletin and repeatedly got disconnect.

Check engine light came on and vehicle began to surge. Acceleration was unpredictable. It wouldn't accelerate properly and then would surge forward. I took it to a repair shop and after a accumulating a large diagnostic bill, they said that the lobes on camshaft wore down and are causing misfires. They said it was a well known manufacturing defect and a common issue with this engine.

My van has a leak at the valve seat in cylinder 1 on the intake side. It has been inspected my a mechanic and available for anyone else to look at it. My car is not old and low mileage. The mechanic said he had someone recently in with the same problem on the 3.6L engine, same year, same low mileage. This causes a problem because the combustion is not properly working in the engine so it has a health hazard for everyone because it has a larger and worse carbon footprint because the engine is not working/functioning properly how the car manufacturers intended it to be. I have searched forums and have found multiple people having the same problem with the cylinders. I believe the problem to be with the engine head because the mechanic said when he fixed the other engine he had to get the head off and get it re-machined. Also people are having the misfire in different cylinder. No warning lights were on before the issue happened.

Bought the car new in 2014, (it was the 6th chrysler minivan I've owned since 1995.) I love these minvans! This one has had an ongoing problem with cylinder #3 misfiring and causing violent shaking (as if it had a broken engine mount). The problem has always been diagnosed and eventually "fixed" by three different chrysler service departments in nc, fl & va.(the problem occured on various trips). It was usually diagnosed as a faulty fuel injector. Most recently it was diagnosed as a spark plug failure due to a tiny crack in the insulation. They installed a new spark plug, and after leaving dealership and driving no more than 20 miles, violent shaking occured again. I immediatley returned to the dealership. This time #3 spark plug had "exploded" and caused the cylinder head to crack. All previous repairs were covered by the "lifetime" warranty purchased at the time of purchase in 2014. However this time, chrysler insurance sent an investigator who determined that the damage was caused by the exploding spark plug and therefore denied coverage. The chrysler service technician said the "PCM" failed, causing the spark plug failure. The insurance agent continues to deny the claim because their policy "does not cover spark plug problems" ! They now want me to pay $2500 for repairs. In all cases, the "check engine light" came on and I would return to a chrysler dealership to have it checked. Their computer check always defined the problem as being something in cylinder #3, but inconclusive because of no obvious engine symptoms. They would reset the engine light and send me on my way until an actual problem occured, and then leave the vehicle for more detailed checking. Each time the problem occured at highway speeds and usually in heavy traffic on I-95...a dangerous time and place for engine problems to occur. Please note that every problem we've had with this vehicle has always been with cylinder #3 "misfiring". Is there a problem here?

Chrysler 2014 -2019 town & country passenger vans are having numerous low compression problems on any or all cylinders in mid range mileage odometer readings ( ours at 87,000 mi.) shooting engine lights on..-after changing all spark plugs and the coil specifically on cylinder 4 that threw the engine light on...the mechanics are saying their is still more internal problems in these engines with low compression making the vehicles run rough at idle but problems will get worse as wrong mixtures of gasoline will create further emission problems and may result in the catalytic converters failing .... Could you as the federal safety agency research the extent of the problems and work on a recall ???? Before the initial repair of cylinder 4 the car at hi way speeds did lose acceleration and caused problems entering hi speed hi ways situations...
