Description of the problem	My van has a 3. 6l pentastar v6 engine. Check engine light came on as i was driving. Car started to shake and lose power at stop light. An obd test indicated that cylinder #2 was misfiring. My mechanic determined that there is low compression on cylinder #2. This is a recurring and commonly known problem with the pentastar engine attributable to a cracked cylinder head on the left side. Chrysler has promised to replace for affected engines at no cost to owners as long as the vehicle is within 10 years or 150,000 miles. I had a similar issue two years ago which was fixed at no cost to me when the vehicle was at 78,000 miles plus.. I am filing this complaint because this time chrysler has refused to pick up the cost of $1,800 plus estimated by the chrysler dealership to replace the cylinder head on my vehicle. I have contacted the chrysler number set up to resolve this issue several times but the official response is that my vehicle has a high mileage of 130,084 and therefore not within the 5 years 100,000 miles warranty window. But instead of issuing a mass recall to address this problem chrysler has issued a public bulletin stating that the company will pay for the replacement of cylinder heads as this problem occurs on the pentatstar engine up to 10 years 150,000.(not 5 years 100,000 miles) i have pointed out this fact and referenced the chrysler but to no avail. In short chrysler has refused to honor its publicly stated commitment in this case. I am writing to request for arbitration or else show me what recourse to take in this david versus goliath case. I feel very much wronged and would very much like to escalate.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.

Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
