Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING OVER THE WEEKEND AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE. MY JEEP SEEMED A LITTLE SLUGGISH OVER THE LAST FEW WEEKS AND THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND TOOK IT TO THE DEALER TO GET AN OIL CHANGE AND FOR THEM TO LET ME KNOW WHY THE ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. THEY CAME BACK AND SAID IT WAS A DEFECTIVE CYLINDER HEAD AND THAT IT WOULD BE REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. WHILE I WAS FORTUNATE TO TAKE IT IN PROMPTLY, IT DOES CONCERN ME THAT THIS PROBLEM MIGHT CAUSE MY OTHER HEADS TO BE SUSCEPTIBLE TO THE SAME FAILURE. *TR
