2 Engine Clicking And Tapping Noises problem

Failure Date: 01/07/2017

My engine had a ticking noise for a couple of days when I was at a stop sign or red light. I was going to address it on my upcoming oil change, but on my way home with my family early January, while driving on a major highway, I had the van shake very violently and start loosing power on highway 422, I was nearly involved in an major car accident due to the sudden loss of power. The check engine light came on and it was struggling to gain any speed to be able to get home. The van would not go past 35-40 miles. I was going to take it to anthony d'ambrosio Chrysler in elverson, PA but they were backed up for a couple of days so I found a delaer with immediate openings, quigley Chrysler in boyertown, PA where my van has been sitting for over a month. I was told that my vehicle had cylinder #2 misfire and gave them code p0302 along with p0300. I was told that this would be covered under warranty by my dealer as it is under original powertrain warranty and also Chrysler is aware of vehicles with that 3. 6 penstar engine having those issues which eventually cause a head malfunction. I was told that I needed to change my spark plugs and ignition coil which make no sense to me as I was told by my dealer and the service manual that spark plugs are to be changed at 100k miles. I have reached out to Chrysler at least 2 times a week for the last month and always keep getting a promised call back from a supervisor/manager to address the issue but have yet to get anyone to ever call me back in the last 30+ days. I need my van fixed ASAP as I only have one other vehicle and was not even offered a loaner while they fixed and addressed this issue.
