Engine and engine cooling, Feb 4, 2012
MY ISSUE IS THE LARGE AMOUNT OF OIL USED, 1 QT USED PER 2500 MILES. THIS IS WHAT THE DEALERSHIP AND JEEP TOLD ME. NORMAL OIL CONSUMPTION: BELOW ARE INDUSTRY STANDARDS FOR NORMAL ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION: MILEAGE BELOW 50,000: NORMAL OIL CONSUMPTION IS ONE QUART FOR EACH 1,000 MILES DRIVEN. MILEAGE ABOVE 50,000: NORMAL OIL CONSUMPTION IS ONE QUART FOR EACH 750 MILES DRIVEN. SO, AS LONG AS A JEEP WITH 50000 OR MORE MILES ON IT DOES NOT USE MORE THAN A QUART OF OIL EVERY 750 MILES THEY DO NOT CARE, AND THEY WILL NOT FIX IT. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT WHY NEW JEEPS TAKE 6 QT'S SINCE THEY USE SO MUCH OIL. I EVEN HAVE A WARRANTY AND THEY STILL WILL NOT FIX IT. THERE ARE NO OIL LEAKS AND I HAVE HAD 2 OIL CONSUMPTION TEST RAN ON THE VEHICLE BY THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP AND CHRYSLER WILL NOT HELP FIX THE PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT I AM LUCKY IT DOES NOT USE A QUART OF OIL EVERY 1000 MILES, SINCE IT MAY GET LOW ENOUGH TO BURN THE ENGINE UP IN UNDER 2500 MILES. *KB

INTERMITTENT PROBLEM OCCURRING ALMOST EXCLUSIVELY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS SUDDENLY, WITHOUT WARNING, THE VEHICLE SHUTS OFF. ALL WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASH BOARD APPEAR, ENGINE COMPLETELY SHUTS OFF WHICH LEADS TO POWER STEERING FAILURE AND LOSS OF SAFE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. WHILE THE ENGINE SHUT OFF IS INTERMITTENT AND DOES NOT LAST FOR MORE THAN A FEW SECONDS BEFORE IT TURNS BACK ON WITHOUT USE OF THE KEY OR ANY OTHER MEANS OF MANUALLY RESTARTING THE VEHICLE, IT IS HIGHLY UNSAFE AND CAN LEAD TO SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH.

KNOCKING NOISE COMING FROM UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE WHEN DRIVEN. IT WOULD COME AND GO, MECHANIC CHECKED FOR THE OBVIOUS LOSS PARTS (MUFFLER, SHOCKS, ETC...). THE NEXT DAY WHEN THE NOISE REAPPEARED, THE MECHANIC HAS DRIVEN LESS THAN A QUARTER MILE WHEN THE ENGINE SEIZED. MECHANIC DROPPED THE OIL PAN AND FOUND METAL SHAVINGS IN THE OIL AND THE BEARING HAD SPUN. CHRYSLER IS REFUSING TO TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY TO FIX THIS COMMON PROBLEM IN THE 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. THE MECHANICS WE HAVE SPOKEN WITH HAVE RELATED THAT THE NEW 07 3.0 LITER ENGINE WAS FOUND TO HAVE ISSUES THAT LEAD TO THIS SPUN BEARING. REPAIRS AND PARTS ARE WELL OVER $8000. *TR

MY VEHICLE SPILLS FUEL OUT OF THE FILLER AREA EVERY TIME I FILL UP. THE FUEL GETS ON ME, THE VEHICLE, AND THE GROUND. I HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER ABOUT THE MATTER, AND THEY ADVISE ME BECAUSE I AM OUTSIDE THE TIME FRAME FOR THEIR TSB, ANY REPAIRS WOULD HAVE TO BE PAID BY ME. AFTER THOROUGHLY RESEARCHING THE MATTER, IT SEEMS THIS IS A WIDE SPREAD CONCERN. CHRYSLER HAS ADDRESSED THE ISSUE FOR SOME, BUT NOT OTHERS BECAUSE "WE'RE OUTSIDE THE WINDOW". PLEASE SEE YOUR CODE #PE10032. ALSO, MY VEHICLE CONSUMES OR BURNS OIL AT THE RATE OF ONE QUART PER 1000 MILES. AGAIN, RESEARCH SHOWS THIS IS ANOTHER WIDE SPREAD MATTER ATTRIBUTED TO FAULTY MOTOR CONSTRUCTION OF SOME 2007/2008 ENGINES. OWNERS WHO HAVE HAD THE REPAIR DONE UNDER WARRANTY FOUND THAT ON THREE PISTONS, RING GAPS WHERE IN A LINE, THE OTHER THREE WHERE CLOSE, ALL SIX OIL EXPANDER RINGS AND PISTON RODS WHERE INSTALLED UPSIDE DOWN. CHRYSLER WILL ADDRESS THE MATTER ONLY IF YOU ARE STILL UNDER WARRANTY. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THE COST SHOULD BE BARED BY THE CONSUMER WHEN BOTH MATTERS ARE SO COMMON AND WIDE SPREAD AS TO INDICATE DESIGN FLAWS IN THE PRODUCT. WHY SHOULD I PAY FOR THEIR INABILITY TO BUILD A COMPONENT CORRECTLY?

I PURCHASED A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER X ON APRIL 13TH, 2007. SINCE THEN, I HAVE TO ADD 6 QUARTS OF OIL BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE PROBLEM RESOLVED UNDER THE TERMS OF THE VEHICLES WARRANTY. AFTER CURSORY EXAMINATION THAT INCLUDED VISUALLY CHECKING THE DIP STICK, VISUALLY CHECKING THE SPARK PLUGS, PVC, AND CVC VALVES, I WAS TOLD THE SERVICE MANAGER FOR MIDWAY JEEP CHRYSLER STATED THAT USING 6 QUARTS OF OIL BETWEEN OIL CHANGES IS PERFECTLY NORMAL AND MIDWAY JEEP NOR CHRYSLER WILL NOT PERFORM ANY OTHER INVESTIGATIVE DIAGNOSTICS, NOR MAKE ANY REPAIRS TO VEHICLE. THEY APPEAR TO BE COLLUDING TO 'RUN OUT THE CLOCK' FOR WHEN THE VEHICLE WARRANTY EXPIRES ON APRIL 12TH, 2010. AFTER CONSULTING AUTOMOTIVE EXPERTS AND TECHNICIANS, WHICH I HIRED AT MY OWN EXPENSE, HAVE BEEN UNANIMOUS IN THEIR PROFESSIONAL OPINIONS THAT THE VEHICLE'S ENGINE HAS SERIOUS INTERNAL MECHANICAL ISSUES AND THE ENGINE WILL FAIL. FURTHER MORE, THE AMOUNT OF OIL BEING CONSUMED IS DESTROYING THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER, OXYGEN SENSORS AND OTHER COMPONENTS OF THE VEHICLE EXHAUST SYSTEM.
