2016 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited with 87000 miles needs new head. Check engine light started coming on about 6 months ago. First, it was the thermostat that needed replaced and now recently the light started to go on and off at random times. I had the code pulled and it said cylinder 2 misfire. Took it to the dealership for diagnostic and they said it needed spark plugs and a new coil. Replaced those parts and 2 days later the light is back on with the same code, cylinder 2 misfire.
The code in conjunction with the ticking noise is leading me to believe that I too have the defective Pentastar head. Something needs to be done about Chryslers continued use of defective parts and excluding them from the extended warranty on older models!!! I hear a class action lawsuit has been filed in 2020. I hope this is resolved with a positive outcome.
