Disadvantages, breakdowns and problems of the EXA internal combustion engine
Firstly, this is a rather rare diesel engine, it was installed on the Grand Cherokee for three years and that's it.
Secondly, here each cylinder has a separate head and they often crack.
And thirdly, these heads need to be stretched periodically or oil leaks will appear.
The turbine is distinguished by a low resource, often it drives oil already to 100 km
Also, many owners complain about loud noise, vibration and lack of spare parts.
