Description of the problem	While driving my 2008 jeep wrangler to work one sunny morning doing approximately 80mph on the highway i drive daily, i lost all engine pressure and smoke began to pour out from under the hood. I pulled off the road and saw oil draining from my engine. I had it towed to the nearest automotive shop and upon futher inspection they said that i blew a head gasket. Both of the mechanics said that they have never seen a gasket completely blow out of the motor and said that they felt that there was a faulty gasket to begin with which cause the mechanical failure of the engine. Now of course there is no warrenty coverage due to the fact that the 5 yrs inspection was not completed, which is required according to somewhere in the owners manual. I am the original owner and it has never even left the pavement, no trails or water, 58k miles. Chrysler/jeep refuses to do anything about it, basically said that this my fault. I will never buy another chrysler product again. Almost makes this girl want to buy a foriegn car.
