THE CYLINDER HEAD/ROCKER ARM SHAFT OF MY ENGINE BROKE CAUSING ALMOST TOTAL LOSS OF ENGINE POWER. I ALSO HAD A MAJOR FUEL LEAK ( A POTENTIAL ENGINE FIRE HAZARD) AND HAD TO HAVE MY FUEL RAIL ASSEMBLY REPLACED.WHEN THE MECHANIC ORDERED THESE PARTS, THERE WERE 160 OF THE ENGINE HEADS AND EVEN MORE OF THE FUEL RAIL ASSEMBLY ON BACK ORDER. THE NEW ENGINE HEAD CAME WITH A SPECIAL STUD IN THE SAME AREA WHERE THE OLD PART HAD BEEN BROKEN. MY INVOICE FROM THE REPAIR SHOP INDICATES THESE REPAIRS IN MORE DETAIL. I ALSO STILL HAVE THE ORIGINAL PARTS. I CONTACTED CHRYSTLER FOR REIMBURSEMENT FOR THESE REPAIRS AND WAS TOLD THAT DUE TO THE AGE AND MILAGE OF MY VEHICLE THEY WERE DENYING MY CLAIM. WHEN I ASKED THEM ABOUT THE UNUSUAL NUMBER OF BOTH OF THESE PARTS BEING ON BACK ORDER, IT DIDN'T SEEM TO BE A CONCERN TO THEM NOR DID THE LOOK INTO THE POSSIBILITY OF THESE ITEMS NEEDING TO BE RECALLS.
