 Description of the problemBought a 2018 dodge grand caravan from dealer with about 56000 miles on it. Idled a little rough, but had one in the past with same issue. Within 5000 miles, my engine light came on with misfire in cylinder 2. Took to dealer, they changed plugs and coil. Within 500 miles, same light came on, misfire cylinder 2. Took back and they moved plug and coil. Drove for probably 600 miles and light came back on. Took it back to dealer and after digging discovered low compression in cylinder 2. They talked to dodge dealership and they advised this is a common issue in these motors. The vehicle now has to be taken to the dodge dealership to be fixed since the head has to be worked on. My dealership doesn't have the tools to properly fix. Luckily i purchased extended warranty, however if this is a common problem, i am requesting a look into making it a recall across the board so no other individual has the same issue.
