1 Engine Funny Noise problem of the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee

Failure Date: 02/02/2021

I bought this Jeep in 2018 with low miles 40,000 now in 2021 has 68,000. I have been driving the car only to go work and working from home I wasn't driving that much. Suddenly while driving I noticed a light on and it was on and off, and oil smell. I took it for the diagnostic and the code misfire detected in cylinder number 3. , p0303 ,which is a problem with the engine. The price is 4000 to fix the problem because is a misfire in one of the cylinders of the engine. The car is not working properly because it has a oil smell and some issues when I am driving such as shaking and also a weird sound . This is the only car that I have right now and I am scare to drive it because I don't think it is safe to drive it with oil smell, it might caught on fire or something . The starter is not working and when driving is unstable. I just drive locally I don't know how this car is giving me an engine problem with that low mileage. It is not possible that a car parked and using not often could have an engine problem. I bought this car thinking to keep it for a long time since I always take a good care of my cars. I need an explanation from Jeep regarding this problem. I am not going to spend over $4000 in a car with less than 100,000 miles and with a problem that was not done by me. I need to resolve this since it might be a safety risk if I continue driving this car with some type of engine/ oil smell. When I parked the car a strong burned oil smell comes out and goes inside the car.

2 Engine Funny Noise problem of the 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee

Failure Date: 10/04/2020

The Jeep has electrical stuff happening sporadically and does not start but with power but after 3 to 6 attempts starts right up. I turn key all power and bells go off and it makes a humming noise and 1 click noise dash says ' transmission over temp' the Jeep is cold so not over temperature. I've seen a lot of post about recall and also about ignition switch or module. I've only owned for 2 years and dealer said car had no recalls when I purchased. This happens stationary and also after driving about 20 minutes to destination and when I went to leave it took several times before starting. This has been going on for last 3 days but few messages randomly popped in information center few times before this had at dealer on computer no codes said it was okay.
