In owners' own words
The engine has a known failure causing a cylinder misfire that is resolved by replacing the cylinder heads. This is a known issue to FCA and caused an extension of the powertrain warranty for the 2010-2014 models but does not cover later engines, that are still experiencing the same issues. The covered years needs to be extended to 2018 or beyond and all out-of-pocket repair costs should be refunded to the consumer. Engine
