Not from wear and tear or stretching, it just snapped. The snapping of…

This is the second time in one year - the no. 2 cylinder has broke. The dealership can not tell me why this is happening. But they did tell me that all replacement parts are rebuilt - no new parts. That is outrageous. Also, if the part goes bad and returned to chrysler/dodge - they will not make it known what the problem is to the dealership or to the consumer.. There is something wrong with the engines in the 2010…

As of today i checked for possible recalls on the car. None were listed. I am requesting…
