| Description of the problem | Turned vehicle off at store, came out to start it and while i was in the store a valve seat fell out of the cylinder head into the cylinder. Engine now needs an entire rebuild costing half of the book value of the vehicle. Upon research online, this is a very common problem with these engines specific to 2006-2007. From what i have read it was due to a known issue from a vender that supplied the cylinder heads. |
