| Description of the problem | I started my 2008 jeep wrangler jk and immediately got a check engine light with an audible sound. The engine was running very rough and shaking. I turned off the engine and it seemed fine but the check engine light was still on. I have a obd2 diagnostic code reader and it showed the code p0306. This is a misfire on the number six cylinder. I took it to larry h. Miller chrysler jeep dodge ram dealership in albuquerque and this is what was done. "wi tech diagnostics for fault codes, had store codes for injector #6 circuit, no work done, operating as per design". I asked what can be done to fix the problem and [xxx] said that the tech could not duplicate the problem so they could not fix anything. [xxx] offered to perform a fuel injector cleaning but this was the only options for now. The next day i started the jeep and had the same issue. I looked up this code 0306 on the jeep jk site and read posts of "pentastar problem". In all cases these people had to visit the dealership 4 to 5 times until they fixed the problem. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6). |
