My friend Simon is the best mechanic. He's a ASE Master mechanic. He listened to my car for 2 seconds and told me what was wrong with the car. I take it to the dealer and they want to replace about 3/4 of the engine, and leave the old parts to work with the new parts. My mechanic said that does not make any sense. One the old parts are going to give out, right about when the 5 year warranty is up. Two, it's more work to replace all those parts than to put a new long block in it.

I go to the dealer and the mechanic at the dealer says pretty much the same thing. If it was up to him he would change the engine. He said the call was not his...its up to Chrysler to give the ok to put a new block in.

I guess Chrysler's metrics would go down if they replace instead of fix. This is not right the engine had 53000 on it and 4 years of use. The car is paid in full. They need to replace the engine and not throw a band aid at it.

Update from Sep 4, 2015: They replace the Rings, 4 out of 6 cylynders, one head cover and a cam shaft.

I was told by some mechanic that the heads are from China and they are made out cheap material that break down and ends up in the engine
