The number 2 cylinder lost compress and is not functioning/firing with the other 5 cylinders. The engine issue makes the car shake and shudder while driving (similar to having a flat tire).

The oil filter adapter housing is plastic and was leaking oil. The leak was so much that there was burning oil smell in the cabin while driving. The oil leak could potentially reach the exhaust manifold causing a vehicle fire. I was able to replace the faulty oil filter housing unit with a non-plastic unit. This is a well known issue with the Chrysler products that have the pentastar engines.

While driving in traffic my transmission failed due to a pump failure in the transmission (diagnosed by a mechanic after the incident and having to be towed to a shop). The car stalled in the middle of an active intersection. My make and model and manufacture year was involved in a recall for this exact problem but for unknown reasons my VIN is not included. The car has been meticulously maintained and has less than 50,000 miles. The check engine light appeared immediately prior to the car losing power.

Misfire and rough idle at all temperatures and speeds. Diagnosed with a faulty head with low compression on cylinder 2 at independent shop. More than 20% difference in psi compression test with a leakdown loss of nearly 80%, pulled valve cover shows a rolled cam. Dealership has vehicle for repair under extended warranty but will not perform leakdown test or pull the valve cover to submit for repair. They have stated that it is rough to run and likely unsafe to drive, and yet insist there is nothing they can do, as this is just "how Chrysler are". prior to diagnosis, full tune up performed and spark/fuel was checked.

At 61,609 miles "the torque converter came apart" ruining the transmission. The vehicle would not engage in gear; when driving it would not stay in gear. This occurred without warning while I was on the road and almost caused an accident since the vehicle slowed down suddenly and without warning. In addition to needing a new transmission, I was told the "combo cooler" also needed replaced.
