Chrysler dealers are replacing malfunctioning cylinder heads on a small percentage of 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 engines.
And a recent shortage of replacement heads means some customers have been without their vehicles for weeks, some dealers say. Chrysler is paying for their rental cars. A cylinder head covers the engine block, enclosing the cylinders.
The engine powers most of Chrysler's best-selling vehicles, including the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Wrangler. By the end of the year, the 3.6-liter Pentastar will be Chrysler's only V-6 engine in production, though a smaller-displacement version is scheduled to appear next year.

Upon further inspection brake peaces were found in the cylinder. On a side note GM says they will take the brake parts back.

Well that explains the missing Sonic brake pads.

I'd be interested in knowing if it was an issue with the head itself as opposed to a manufacturing issue with the engine. But it's a letdown any way you slice it.

Sucks for sure.

A cast-in exhaust manifold, or integrated exhaust manifold, does add a bit of casting complexity, seeing how exhaust cores are sandwiched between water jacket cores and oil drain back cores.....but nothing too scary. But I would not rule out bad castings.

First of all, I don't care.
Second of all,, the king of trolls really has to ask ,
But, however I did notice you ignored my other post, in another thread, that showed your arrogance/stupidity.
Nice to see you still pick and choose.
Mod or not you are still a LOOSER.
Oh well, sucks to be you I guess.

Sorry for my last post. What I should have done was translate what Cmipathetic really meant.
Translation:
First of all, how dare you minimize GM.
Second of all, I am the only one that can bring up GM in a non GM thread.

I haven't seen what the actual defect is, only the symptoms. Is that casting defect speculation or from a source? I assume it's something that could be inspected by testing, especially if they know what to look for?

OH an then (and here is where I demonstrate a real act of curiosity in posting habits )
