• !! Excessive oil consumption — recall on Tigershark from 80,000 km

  The Chrysler Tigershark engine is known for excessive oil consumption: up to 1 litre per 1,600 km documented. The cause is piston ring problems. FCA settled a class-action lawsuit in the US and replaced complete engines.

  Symptoms: Oil level drops sharply between services, blue smoke trail on acceleration, oil in the exhaust system.

• !! MultiAir cylinder head — valve actuation failure from 100,000 km

  The electrohydraulic MultiAir II valve actuation system in the cylinder head can fail due to oil degradation and deposits. Faulty actuators cause power loss and engine shutdown. Chrysler replaced complete engines on affected units.

  Symptoms: Engine warning light, sudden power loss, engine shuts off while driving, difficult restart.

• !! Timing chain tensioner — rattling and elongation from 120,000 km

  The timing chain of the Tigershark engine stretches at high mileage and the tensioner loses its preload. The result is altered valve timing and possible valve contact. Noise from the chain drive is an early indicator.

  Symptoms: Metallic rattling on cold start that eases after warm-up; with advanced wear, persistent chain noise.
