Bittersweet mileage accomplishment

[rmasonjr]

122k miles on a 2021 JLU 3.6L eTorque and never had any problems. I changed oil and filter every 5k miles and I've only replaced the battery, windshield, and tires.

Now this:

Started getting random cylinder 6 misfire, so I changed all plugs and coils.

Then starts a mystery coolant leak.

You guessed it - i think it's the head gasket.

Such a shame.

Oh crap! Good luck on remedy. Double check, second opinions.

Mine went at 61,000 miles... since I had an extended warranty, it kicked in and I got a new engine installed for $100 deductible.

I hope you have an extended warranty that covers issues at your current mileage. If you do, sit back and relax.

My symptoms: no aural chime for overheating, no smoke, only an ESS indication and shuddering at idle. I had zero visible coolant leaks (under the jeep), but reservoir was empty. Coolant was leaking into the block and warped my cylinders. It quietly self-destructed. Now, every fuel up I check my coolant reservoir as many members have suggested I do moving forward.
