I have 2015 jku it has mopar lifetime warranty. 2024 they replace engine and transmission which also has 3 year warranty. On April 6 I had a head gasket blow due to radiator fan failure. Dealership said it was just head gasket and nothing warped. When finishing they stripped 2 block bolts. So...

No 5 speed in the 2015

Update: new engine has been great since 12/23 Transmission just went out. 4/24 Getting new transmission under lifetime warranty, this thing has really paid off for me. In 4 months the jeep has new long block and new transmission. Mopar lifetime warranty for the win.

End of story jeep torn down engine to see where point of failure. They found a bent rod along with the cams,lifters, rocker arms and replaced the engine under lifetime warranty. Pretty happy since old engine had 141k miles on it.

Thanks for everyone's help with this ! Happy Holidays

The cams were worn pretty bad so the concern was metal chunks in the lower end

Here are the cams from repair from med October not sure if that helps. Dealer is getting with tech to confirm that that big thing is metal which is scary since she represented it as metal for the past 2 weeks. Ill keep ya posted.

I can only confirm what the dealer has said. I was there Monday and the tech wasn't in-of coarse. My service advisor I've been working with since day 1 back in 2015 and has been extremely helpful and on the up and up. She represented the piece as metal and listed it as the main reason for the...

@MattPersman do you know if theres a star report bulletin online for the 3.6 pentastar for this type of issue and would it basically be the same policy

Yes original owner had some engine issues already. 1 yr ago Thermostat went out and had warped cylinder heads - fixed and then all the cams,lifters,and rocker arms,and rear main seal last week.
