I am told that my engine needs a rebuild as well from oil starvation. Would you please email exchange with me cause I would like to know more about your problem.

I have a 2008 Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon. I’ve driven 34,000K’s in the last 12 months and have been having problems with excessive oil and fuel consumption, after two oil consumption tests with a main dealer I have now been told that I need an engine rebuild!

This doesn’t sound great to me but I wondered if anyone has had any experience with this sort of thing and can give advice?

Cheers

I have a 2007 Jeep Wrangler. My jeep stalls in 2nd gear almost all the time. I gave the car to 3 jeep service centres and they all tell me that their computers doesn’t show them that there is no problem.

I also have another problem; This problem is about heating. My Air conditioning panel gets so heated up that I have to stop somewhere for it to cool down. And this happens even if I drive for 50 to 60 Kms also day or night with or without A/C or heating switched on.

Have any of you guys have had this problem.

Car registered April 2004.

Car has been a lemon, continues to be a lemon…

New fuel rail under warranty at 60,000km after car experienced punting at idle.

Had car back to dealership another 8 times when excessive smoke condition developed after fuel rail replacement.

Car lacked power and there was poor turbo lag.

New Turbo, Injectors and labour required on 8th occasion and 2 week stint at service center. By this time I was fed up. Problem Jeep claim was a carbon build up in manifold.

Then almost straight away a new symptom developed whereby car would cut out, either idle or at speed, locking up steering, shutting engine down, very un-nerving especially under speed or in peak hour traffic.

Car back to dealer 6 times May 2007-Nov 2007, worst instance was near accident when stalling in 2nd lane of freeway traffic with near miss by truck at 90km/h attempting to get into emergency lane.

Car fix on this issue also resulted in mechanics tampering with personal camera leaving footage saved on camera. Poor professionalism especially when they couldn’t fix issues with car!

Driver electric window collapsed Januray 2008.

Engine blew up in April 2008 less than 110,000km. Hole in 4th Cylinder and hairline fractures in others resulting in total rebuild.

Jeep agreed to fix out of warranty and provided a loan car after long letter with service history escalated to Management, however other undertakings also offered later were never followed through.

8 weeks later car ready. Few more weeks haggling over details on repair report, warranty applying to vehicle as a result of rebuild, also a valuation Chrysler offered but did not formally provide, no trade-in change over option forthcoming….lots of evasiveness and delegation to various people by organisation giving me the run around.

Return loan car and collect repaired car 15th August.

Saturday 16th car cuts out on FWY, partner very upset, myself livid, place angry calls to various Chrysler people, no calls returned.

Monday 18th Car cuts out again in city traffic, passer by helps me push it aside to avoid traffic incidents at busy Melb city junction.

Letter to M.D, results in the of GM Parts and Service calling me (who aborted my requests post agreement to repair engine) and advises me to go legal, claiming I had previously blackmailed them to acting. Very unprofessional.

This driver investigating legal avenues as of tomorrow!

Disgraceful, incompetant service history and bully/intimidation tactics by large company. No accountability of inner Melb city dealership either Sales or Service. Car is/has been defective and intermittent issues & overall failure to resolve is an unacceptable safety risk. Car serviced by Jeep exclusively since purchase. No value realised in maintaining car with manufacturer. Request to trade in prior to engine failure late 07′ was met with “we don’t want to see the car back here again”……
