We bought a new 2013 RHD wrangler Out in IL. and be on our way out there on 3-31-13 Need this jeep for work. Do you or anyone else think there could be a problem with the head issue? From what i have read the the trouble should be fixed . I understand build dates after August 2012 should be fine.Thanks for any and all feed back.

Just took mine in last week tried the update on the computer had to take it back in when light came right back on (2012 19,200 miles unlimited Wrangler) said they were going to put on a new head Cylinder #2 was only 115PSI the rest were around 160PSI now Jeep is having them dismantle the entire engine and sendin digital immaging back to Jeep to see If the real problem is further down in the engine. They will now figure out if they are going to replace the whole engine or just the head??? I am a lil pissed and my dealership knows this.

Headin to the shop tomorrow with eng lite on. 2012 Sahara 19k miles. runs rough, Loss of power and tick tick tick…..

Don’t let the dealer insult your intelligence saying they had to do an update to the computer because you will be back. Make your appointment, refer to articles like this forum and be sure to let hem know you are not happy with a $40k vehicle failure like this.

Mine just went out yesterday…. hopefully fixed by Friday. Dealership did arrange for a rental and they are being very nice about it…. my only concenr is the light that came on can cover a loose gas cap to something this important, with no way for the driver to know. Also, I always worry about how much damage was done, before the light came on ….

Just took mine to the dealer in Temecula CA this morning for this issue. I am not happy because they are not offering me a rental car for the 3 days it will take for the repairs!!!! The car is 10 months old and can’t believe we have this problem!

Funny thing is, I was totally against purchasing a Chrysler because of the quality. My Wife said said the quality of the brand has improved and she wanted to try something other than Honda.

Wow, this is going to hurt Chrysler. Hopefully the rest of the engine won’t suffer problems that haven’t surfaced so far (or have they?)
