At approximately 120k miles I began to notice a slight tick coming from the driver side of the motor. Over the next 5k miles I changed the oil several times, swapped plugs, coil packs and injectors to rule out any potential issues. I also did a visual inspection of the exhaust manifolds. The problem persisted and got worse. There was also a consistent hesitation under medium to heavy throttle input. I'm now at 126k miles and had a check engine light - p0303 for cylinder 3 misfire. I have started disassembling the motor and noticed the lifter has seized and started destroying the camshaft.

My vehicles recall cannot be fixed because recall part is not available. They have apparently not created a working recall part yet. My vehicle hesitates to turn on just like it did before when the recall had to be fixed for the second time around. I have reached out to jeep and chrysler numerous times with not much help. They tell me to contact dealer for temporary fix, dealer tells me there is no part available for temporary fix. I have been trying to get something done for over 6 months now with no help. It is very disturbing to know that my vehicle may stall out when I am going down the highway with my family in our family vehicle. The vehicle is starting to show the problem of the recall again. Sometimes is doesn't even start at all it just tries to start the engine.I had called back in january 2020 and went in loops with the company on borrowing a car until mine was fix and they did not seem to care about my families safety at all.
