Car overheated once/ blew the head gasket and cracked the engine block. This was the first time that the car overheated. A representative from chysler said they had 4000 of the head gaskets currently on back order and they had change manufactorers. I feel that 4000 parts on back order at any given time is alot and may be indicative of a problem.
