Description of the problem	My 2013 jeep wrangler started having a code that read "misfire on cylinder 6" at about 55,000 miles. After changing the spark plugs and ignition coils on the drivers side bank of cylinders (2,4,and 6) the trouble code still continued to pop up about every week or two. I then took it to my local jeep, chrysler, ram dealer to investigate further. After doing some research i found out that the cylinder heads on the pentastar engine in the 2012 and 2013 jeep wranglers were have many, many issues with the bad cylinder heads because of there was two different metals used between the engine block and the cylinder head causing it to warp and cause compression issues in the cylinder. Jeep was well aware of this problem but refused to this day to issue a recall. After the dealer took the engine apart to investigate, he admitted to the fact that it was a bad cylinder head. This misfire on cylinder 6 occurred mostly when idling at a traffic light or at very low speeds. The kicker in all of this even though jeep admitted a faulty cylinder head was the cause of the loss of compression, they refused to replace the cylinder head at their cost. Because jeep did not have my vin number in their list to be repaired, it was up to me to pick up the cost. I did nothing in the time that i have had this vehicle (original owner) to make a cylinder head become warped. This was a problem with the pentastar engine from the beginning. Too bad jeep doesn't do the right thing and repair these pentastar engine issues at their expense rather than heaping more responsibility on the consumer.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
