I really wanted a jeep ordered it November 2011 got it feb 2012. I read about the penstar engine never thought that will happen to mine .. i was wrong check engine light came on.. took it to the mechanic who always does my oil changes. Long story short after a tune up oil change i didint ask for picked it up 675.00 light came back on!! Brought it back He had it for 3 days. Picked it up engine light came on again. He said its still miss firing said it will still run!!wanted another 460.00 shouldn't he known the 1st time engine is bad. I called jeep they dont care. Traded in in for a 2021 HRV. Jeeps are garbage. !!!
Sorry you had to go through all that, but, yes, that doesn’t surprise me - Scotty and the community keep warning people not to buy Jeeps. Hopefully, the Honda HRV will be a much better experience.
If you really, really want a Jeep it's best to buy one of the old-school models with the inline six. Even with the complications brought about by age and wear they're loads better than what Fiat is peddling today.
Well that's FCA for ya or should I say "Stellantis"
