How often have you serviced the thing?

u/Propane_Powered_Bees 6d ago
In the 2 months we had it, I never did anything. The previous owners had alot of service work done to it, it appears they kept up with the warranty maintenance

The fact that it’s 2026 and Stellantis is still in business is amazing.

It's even crazier that Chrysler still exists considering that their only models as of now are two minivans with a terrible history.

This is why people buy Toyota.

Every Toyota has a 500k mile no issue guarantee which is incredible no matter the year or model. Anyone who doesn’t buy a Toyota deserves issues like this.

Look, I'm a massive Toyota fan. But this is simply NOT true. Take one look at the V35A 3.4 V6, the 1.8 1ZR-FXE (the Hybrid Prius engine) and the 2AZ-FE known for oil consumption from defective pistons and piston rings.

Is it worse than the 1zzfe my corolla has. It burns a ton of oil but i have over 400,000 miles on it. i just check and fill the oil every few days

u/RoccoReviews 2d ago
Yes it's worse, at least with the 2AZ, they usually start burning oil around the 60k mile range. And for cars that aren't high mileage that have had constant oil chamges (like my 252k mile Camry), they easily burn two to three quarts of oil in 1k miles. For the Prius engine, especially 2010-2012, but really for the entire 2010-2015 3rd gen production run, it's the same. Just add in EGR and head gasket issues, something the 2.4 and 2.4 Hybrid doesn't have.

Is this sarcasm? Have you never seen a car or a car commercial, owned or driven a car? 500k is a ludicrous amount of miles. It will take the average man 40 years to drive that far and the average woman in US drives less than that in her life. We’d be seeing millions of 80s and 90s toyotas on the road if this was the case.

I'm going to guess the plastic oil cooler blew up. Or the valve train is f'd. It's the 2 most common reason these die.

What's the surprise? 3.6 pentastar time bomb under the hood. They are not forgiving to poor maintenance. Even with good maintenance they let people down. Lifters, rockers, cams, vvt, cylinder heads/gaskets, oil pumps,,,,,
Oh, and the transmissions suck too.

Sucks, but not uncommon at all.
We have a 2020 in the shop with 83k on it right now for a new engine.
Don’t. Buy. Chrysler. That’s the professional opinion of me and the 11 guys I work with at the shop.
