> I don't believe the article. I think that the author purposely left out the part that after the failure inspection revealed the exact cause of the failure.
There are a number of suspicious details in the article. And of course it's told entirely from the perspective of the owner; we don't know what Stellantis would have to say about it. Engines don't seize up at less than 60K miles just because the owner missed a couple of oil changes. The dealer probably told the owner the warranty claim was denied because of the oil change history, which they could probably document, but I suspect there was other evidence of abuse or neglect.
One thing that raises my suspicions is the owner's claim that he's going to scrap the pickup rather than pay 19K CAD (USD $15K) for a new engine. I ran that truck through KBB.com and came up with a trade-in value of around $30K US. If he's really scrapping it, it must be beat to heck.
