CHECK ENGINE. LIGHT CAME ON .TOOK IT TO DEALER. DEALER SAID THE COMPUTER WAS READING # 2 CYLINDER MIS- FIRE. THE DEALER SAID THAT MY ON BOARD COMPUTER DIDN'T TAKE A FORCED UPLOAD OF NEW SOFTWARE FROM CHRYSLER, SO THEY DID IT IN SHOP. THEY SAID THAT WOULD FIX IT. ON MAY 13TH WHILE SITTING IN LINE AT THE BANK, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON, DROVE TO DEALERS SECOND LOCATION. AT THAT LOCATION I WAS TOLD THAT THE MOTOR NEEDED MAJOR WORK THE #2 CYLINDER, ROCKER ARM, AND CYLINDER HEAD NEED TO BE REPLACED.

PURCHASED A 2012 JEEP WRANGLER SPORT ON 3/3/12 AT ROUGHLY 2PM CST. AT ABOUT 4PM CST, I PARKED THE JEEP IN MY APARTMENT'S PARKING GARAGE. I DECIDED AT ABOUT 6PM CST TO GO GET SOME DINNER, AND TO CRUISE AROUND AS WELL IN THE NEW VEHICLE. I OBSERVED SMOKE COMING FROM THE PARKING GARAGE, AND WHEN I GOT INTO THE GARAGE, I OBSERVED MY NEW JEEP ON FIRE. THE ENTIRE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES. BOTH FRONT TIRES EXPLODED AS A RESULT OF THE FIRE, AND THE ENTIRE FRONT END WAS COMPLETELY DAMAGED. THE INTERIOR IS DESTROYED; BASICALLY TOTALED OUT. VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED WITH 11 MILES ON THE ODOMETER, AND ENDED WITH ABOUT 17 TOTAL. *TR

MY 2012 WRANGLER WITH ONLY 200 MILES START TO OVERHEATING WHEN USE MORE POWER TO RUN UPHILL A ROAD. I GO TO THE DEALER TO VERIFY AND SAID TO ME THAT ITS NORMAL. I SAID TO THEME THAT CHANGE ME THIS WRANGLER BECAUSE WAS NEW AND NOT CHANGE IT WITH ANOTHER. ALSO NOW AT 987 MILES THE ENGINE MAKE A NOISE LIKE A LIFTERS. MY QUESTION IS , WHEN THE WRANGLER WON MORE MILES THE PROBLEMS ARE MORE? I READ ON INTERNET THAT SOME PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS. CHRYSLER NEED TO VERIFY ALL PENTASTAR ENGINES. *TR
