Consumer Description

I purchased a used 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee. I only drove the jeep for 2 days and the check engine light came on. On the way to the mechanic the jeep overheated. I was left on the side of a busy road and put in a dangerous situation. When I made it my mechanic shop, the mechanic explained the 3.6 engine has repeat issues with overheating! I now have a vehicle I cannot drive. Why has there not been a recall if this is an issue for many with this engine?
