Consumer Description

There are a ton of posts on Reddit showing a bunch of 3.6l jeep owners all having the same issue with the VVT/VVL Solenoid. It seems to be all the same, the truck starts running very rough and like complete [XXX], CEL starts blinking, and then they check the codes coming up and they all seem to be getting codes p0456, p105d & p0302. The misfire is in cylinder 2 and the VVT Solenoid needs to be replaced at not even 70k miles. The bad solenoid caused the jeep to be undriveable. There are a ton of jeep owners who are all having this same EXACT issue with their jeep and yet this isn’t a recall?? Jeep obviously made a faulty truck. Please explain HOW THERE ISN’T A RECALL TO FIX THE VVT/VVL SOLENOID IN THESE JEEPS?? Some people are spending thousands to get it fixed at a dealer, which is seriously messed up bc it’s one little part and such an easy fix and just getting ripped off. JEEP NEEDS TO FIX THIS OBVIOUS VERY WELL KNOWN ENGINE ISSUE BC THATS ON THEM, THEY SHOULD HAVE TO PAY, NOT THE CONSUMERS who put all their faith into jeep to make a good running truck, only to get [XXX]!!!
