The dodge dealership had me to come in to reprogram my cars pcm(under Recall) because it was burning a quart of oil in less than 300 miles and getting extremely hot but now the engine has less oil burn as much as before but has less horsepower(tested by plugin meter) and has a ton of blowby that it blows oil out of drain plug there is no error codes or anything but the extended warranty test for a new engine isnt covered because they reprogrammed the pcm and to get a new engine under their extended warranty i would have to lose the amount of oil that i was previously before they touched the PCM they waited to show me the extended warranty after they reprogrammed it a year prior withholding that i could been eligible for new engine without catastrophic damage this car also has bcm 3 that has severe parasitic drain making the car unsafe all the way around on all 2015 models

Vehicle has scaring on the cylinder walls that is soaking up oil and causing a excessive oil loss, causing the vehicle to shut down when taking a corner and not able to restart the vehicle for a period of time. I have been stranded in the middle of the road a few times not able to start the vehicle resulting in me having to jump start it to be able to get the vehicle to move. Apparently this is a common problem with the 2.4l tigershark engines. I am afraid I will be stranded on a busy street and the possibility to be hit. My vehicle is currently at the selling dealership and is telling me that chrysler is denying the claim for a engine replacement, they are telling the tech to give me an oil change and send me on my way.

Nov 2016, loss of power while driving, went into neutral, would start a few minutes later, but loss of power again. Took to dealership & they replaced the engine. Feb 2017 key stopped working, changed battery still didn't work, changed it again & it worked. April 6, 2017 loss of power completed died, I could not jump it, could not lock my doors, could not do anything. Picked up car from dealership on april 10, they said that they changed the battery. While still there picking up my car, my blinker lights blew out, notification on the screen says right & left blinker light out. They switched out the bulbs. Got it home & notification said low beam lights out. The next morning had no lights. Taking to the dealership again tomorrow. I am forcing them to look at the electrical system I am close to my 36000 mile warranty.
