Consumer Description

THE ENGINE MALFUNCTION LIGHT CAME ON SO I TOOK MY 2012 JEEP WRANGLER TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID ONE OF THE CYLINDERS MISFIRED, BUT IT WAS NOT A MAJOR ISSUE, SO THEY RESET THE SOFTWARE AND I DROVE THE VEHICLE HOME. A FEW WEEKS LATER, THE ENGINE MALFUNCTION LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN, SO I TOOK MY JEEP BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. THIS TIME CYLINDER NUMBER 2 MISFIRED AND THEY TOLD ME THE CYLINDER HEAD NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THEY SAID MY JEEP WILL BE READY TOMORROW. *TR
