I thought that was limited to the Pacificas and everything else before they put it into the Wrangler. My understanding was that it was resolved by the time they finally started putting them in wranglers. I hated the older 3.8L engines and was super happy to get the 3.6. I still have low mileage so can’t comment on longevity but I think they may have resolved that.
Nope. Still a thing. Happened to my 7 year old.
How many miles did it have and if you don’t mind me asking, what did it cost to fix? Did you just get the head gasket replaced or did you have to get the heads machined or a reman engine?
115K. Totaled the engine. Too far out of spec to machine. I wasn’t about to put more money into it. It was paid off too which sucked. Found out after the fact that this is a known defect on this engine. Note: it was not a Flex Fuel vehicle, or at least it wasn’t badged that way. Not sure if that affects anything reliability wise.
