Description of the problem	I brought my cherokee into dealer where i purchased it for a check engine light. The jeep was looked at and the lead mechanic proceeded to tell me it would need a cylinder head. I bought this jeep on 11/7/11 and couldn't believe what i was hearing. After reading many forums and chrysler's comments; which they don't take full responsibility for this critical issue by putting some fault on the customer. Brand new vehicle which i paid a good amount for and after 20,000 you have to rip my truck apart and now i hope for the best. I feel this is just a band aide to cover the major problem with this 3. 6-l engine. To me now it's as if i bought it used. If i try to trade the jeep in i'm sure it has depreciated and the same if i was to sell to a private owner. I truly feel i was taken advantage of by chrysler and to pay that amount for a vehicle which clearly has mechanical problems, well to me, that is just not acceptable. I know fires under the hood are being investigated, i am very concerned on this issue as well. I think my cherokee should be warranted for the life of the cherokee by chrysler due to the mechanical problem returning after another 20,000 or 25,000 miles. Thank you for your time.
