Consumer Description

Lifter & camshaft failed while driving on the highway The engine response failed while driving & just about caused an a car pile up on the highway, all while dumping fuel out of exhaust! The dealer knows about the the flaw with the 100,000+ with the same issue, will not fix it unless owner pays over 4K+ & will not address the extremely hazardous issue. The independent Service place says it’s a flaw from the production & that Jeep knows but won’t resolve it, unless owner pays.
