Consumer Description

I STARTED MY 2008 JEEP WRANGLER JK AND IMMEDIATELY GOT A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WITH AN AUDIBLE SOUND. THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING VERY ROUGH AND SHAKING. I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE AND IT SEEMED FINE BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS STILL ON. I HAVE A OBD2 DIAGNOSTIC CODE READER AND IT SHOWED THE CODE P0306. THIS IS A MISFIRE ON THE NUMBER SIX CYLINDER. I TOOK IT TO LARRY H. MILLER CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM DEALERSHIP IN ALBUQUERQUE AND THIS IS WHAT WAS DONE. "WI TECH DIAGNOSTICS FOR FAULT CODES, HAD STORE CODES FOR INJECTOR #6 CIRCUIT, NO WORK DONE, OPERATING AS PER DESIGN". I ASKED WHAT CAN BE DONE TO FIX THE PROBLEM AND [XXX] SAID THAT THE TECH COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM SO THEY COULD NOT FIX ANYTHING. [XXX] OFFERED TO PERFORM A FUEL INJECTOR CLEANING BUT THIS WAS THE ONLY OPTIONS FOR NOW. THE NEXT DAY I STARTED THE JEEP AND HAD THE SAME ISSUE. I LOOKED UP THIS CODE 0306 ON THE JEEP JK SITE AND READ POSTS OF "PENTASTAR PROBLEM". IN ALL CASES THESE PEOPLE HAD TO VISIT THE DEALERSHIP 4 TO 5 TIMES UNTIL THEY FIXED THE PROBLEM. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
