I have 2015 CROSSROAD with a 3.6 that has a little over 133,000 miles. The check engine light came on. Code indicates cylinder 5 is leaking down. I had the head replaced at a dealer since I'm gone more than I'm home and I didn't have time to do it myself. When i picked it up, the labor alone was well over $2,000 and that works out to around 12 hours. I have a few questions. I know there have been problems in the past on the 2011, '12 and '13s with the valves not seating right on the 3.6 heads. Is this a common problem with newer models? if it's not a factory issue, what would cause it with so few miles? Also, the 12 hours labor seems excessive for simply changing a head. Is that what the book calls for? I know, at this point there is nothing I can do about either of these things but I just need to satisfy my own curiosity. $4,300 is a lot of money for a head replacement and i'm a little butt hurt over it.
