Consumer Description
I HAVE HAD THE JEEP GLADIATOR SINCE NOVEMBER 2019 AND IT HAS HAD MULTIPLE ENGINE ISSUES ON THREE DIFFERENT OCCASIONS LEADING UP TO WHAT I WAS TOLD WAS "BLOWN HEAD GASKETS". IT STARTED AFTER JUST A FEW MONTHS WITH LESS THAN 1000 MILES WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON. THE ENGINE WOULD ALSO RUN ROUGH. THEY BELIEVED IT WAS BAD FUEL. AT APPROXIMATELY 8 MONTHS THE SAME THING HAPPENED AT AROUND 3500 MILES. THIS TIME THE SAID IT WAS A BAD CYLINDER. NOW AT 14 MONTHS AND AT AROUND 8000 MILES MY HIGH TEMP LIGHT CAME ON OUT OF NO WHERE AND SMOKE APPEARED UNDER THE HOOD. I HAD PREVIOUSLY JOKED WITH THEM THAT THEY HAD JUST DISABLED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AS THAT NEVER CAME ON. I WAS ONLY GOING ABOUT 20 MILES PER HOUR AND PULLED INTO A GAS STATION. MEGEE MOTORS HAS FULL RECORDS OF THE ISSUES.
