| Description of the problem | Takata recall the motor keeps dying while driving. I took it to a mechanic that told me that the motor was defective and the motor has to be replaced. The engine only has less than 85000 miles. The mechanic told us to buy a jasper motor because jasper made changes to the motor because the original motor was defective. Mopar no longer makes the motor and referred us to an aer motor. The parts department at chrysler said that they are not sure or not if the original mopar motor has made the same changes to the motor that jasper has made. Jasper states that changes have been made to the motor and specifically states that improvements have been made to solve the defective issues of an original 2006 motor. I am not the only one it has happened to. Motors were being replaced at 75,000 miles are a common problem according to google on this model. |
