Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING MY 2008 JEEP WRANGLER TO WORK ONE SUNNY MORNING DOING APPROXIMATELY 80MPH ON THE HIGHWAY I DRIVE DAILY, I LOST ALL ENGINE PRESSURE AND SMOKE BEGAN TO POUR OUT FROM UNDER THE HOOD. I PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND SAW OIL DRAINING FROM MY ENGINE. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE NEAREST AUTOMOTIVE SHOP AND UPON FUTHER INSPECTION THEY SAID THAT I BLEW A HEAD GASKET. BOTH OF THE MECHANICS SAID THAT THEY HAVE NEVER SEEN A GASKET COMPLETELY BLOW OUT OF THE MOTOR AND SAID THAT THEY FELT THAT THERE WAS A FAULTY GASKET TO BEGIN WITH WHICH CAUSE THE MECHANICAL FAILURE OF THE ENGINE. NOW OF COURSE THERE IS NO WARRENTY COVERAGE DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE 5 YRS INSPECTION WAS NOT COMPLETED, WHICH IS REQUIRED ACCORDING TO SOMEWHERE IN THE OWNERS MANUAL. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND IT HAS NEVER EVEN LEFT THE PAVEMENT, NO TRAILS OR WATER, 58K MILES. CHRYSLER/JEEP REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT, BASICALLY SAID THAT THIS MY FAULT. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER CHRYSLER PRODUCT AGAIN. ALMOST MAKES THIS GIRL WANT TO BUY A FORIEGN CAR.
