We recently bought a 2007 Dodge Grand Caravan 6cyl. After having it for 5 months, and putting about 6,000 miles on it (summer vacation) we now have to get the head gasket replaced.

It was discovered when our heat stopped working. The mechanic said that it was leaking coolant.

My concern is that this vehicle has (53,000)miles and is new to us. Should I be concerned that I already have to replace the head gasket? What else should I be looking for?
