Consumer Description
THE ROCKER ARM OF MY JEEP BECAME ATTACHED FROM THE ENGINE BECAUSE THERE IS A FLAW ON THE PASSENGER'S SIDE OF THE ENGINE. THE WAY THE CAM TURNS MAKES IT A VERY REAL POSSIBILITY THAT THE ROCKER ARMS ON THAT SIDE CAN DETACH. APPARENTLY THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AND VERY WELL KNOWN AMONG MECHANICS FOR THE COMPANY AS WELL AS THIRD-PARTY MECHANICS, BUT THE COMPANY THEMSELVES CLAIMED THEY'VE NEVER HEARD ANY ISSUES ON THE MATTER. I ACTUALLY HAVE HAD A FRIEND HAVE THE SAME ISSUE WITH HER VEHICLE A COUPLE YEARS BACK, AND SHE WROTE AND THEY STONEWALLED HER AS WELL. I REALLY THINK THIS IS A DANGEROUS ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE EXAMINED MORE SERIOUSLY. THERE'S TONS OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE WRITTEN ONLINE WHO HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE.
