I own a 2016 3.6 Challenger with about 79k miles on it. About two months ago I purchased the Ripp Coil Packs for the Pentastar engine and had my trusted mechanic put them in for me. After that my check engine light when crazy flashing which I was told was due to constant misfire. I brought the car to the mechanic and he told me the 4th cylinder coil pack was probably bad and changed it out for me. The CEL and misfires went away for about a week but then the CEL came back with misfires only at Idle, we thought that since the coil pack might have been bad it might have ruined the spark plugs and or head gasket rings, so again we replaced each of those. Which again solved the problem for only about a week. This time the mechanic did a full check of my engine and told me that my Valve Seat had a problem and that it probably needed to be replaced with a quote for parts and labor at about $1500. He also mentioned that there was a large recall of the 2011 and some 2013 models but none from 2016.
He suggested calling the dealer to check the warranty, they told me the car was out of warranty and quoted me $2800. From here I called Chrysler to see if my warranty could be extended to no avail.
The purpose of my post is basically just to find some sort of guidance, at this point it's so frustrating and just want to resolve the purpose.
Would the 2011 and 2013 recall matter if my 2016 had the same problem?
Would calling a lemon lawyer to be productive or should I get another quote?
