“Mileage was only 58k when I got a misfire code coming up in cylinder 2. I had a local mechanic look at it and he suspected it needed a tune up with new coil packs and spark plugs. We did that and still it came back on. Wasn't able to get into the dealer until 65k and now dealer says there is a leak in the valve of cylinder 2.

They did tell me that other engines that were similar had a recall on them and extended the warranty for those that VIN numbers matched that recall. …”

“My wife and I purchased a 2018 Dodge Grand Caravan in 2020 with 54000 miles on it. Its had a misfire on cylinder 4 but was told it was just a coil pack or spark plug.

As long as it is filled before it gets to 1/4 tank, it doesn't have problems. …”
