2010 Jeep Wrangler: engine failure

Filed Apr 19, 2023 · Engine · FL

I did not have a check engine light. I began to notice a slight ticking sound. I took it to a dealership and they say I need a brand new engine. I have had no issues with my vehicle and have maintained it well. I went from a slight ticking sound to a $11,000 estimate for an engine swap. My Jeep only has about 66,000 miles on it.

Vehicle is consuming excessive oil. I check the dip stick every time I get gas to be sure it doesn't go dry. It started being very low at just 3,000 since last oil change and progressively got worse. The dipstick will now be below the safe line at 1,600 miles since last oil change. I have had the pcv value replaced and it didn't not fix the problem. I have been to several specialty jeep machines who have said I will need a new engine.

Engine started making a rattling noise at 54,200 miles. No engine lights or oil pressure indicators. Brought in to have checked & found to have no engine oil, low engine coolant. There was enough damage done to the engine that I'm having to have an entire new engine installed as it was more cost effective than replacing the individual parts. The dealership received a new engine & installed. This one was deffective & had to wait for another one to be received & installed. Thanks,

We bought this vehicle almost two years december. After having this vehicle around 7 months with no problems, we took it to king expresslube to have oil changed, in which, the wrong oil filter was put on vehicle resulting in a blown engine. King expresslube pair the entire cost of the engine and the vehicle was taken to north point jeep. Every since engine was replaced, we have had problems with the car not cranking. Vehicle has been towed to the jeep dealership numerous times with them saying, " we can't find anything wrong". Was advised to carry a " hammer" to tap under starter to " see if it will crank" . So it broke down again two weeks ago which they had the vehicle two days and was returned stating they can't find anything wrong! Would not crank again today and they finally found something! Said that it was the tipm, of course that's not covered under warranty and it will cost us 900.00 to replace part! This has been very tacky business practice since I have read today that chrysler has known this is a faulty part and unwilling to stand behind their vehicles! I am very upset that they are unwilling to help in any way! Thank you for listening to my story! Shannon h

Letter re the problems experienced with a 2010 jeep wrangler feels that vehicle falls under the new car lemon law (entire package not imaged, forwarded to nvs-200) *tgw the consumer stated there have been repeated attempts to repair the vehicle. However, the vehicle remains defective. The consumer stated the vehicle was running sluggish and burning oil, but no leaks were found. The problem went on for several months. The consumer believed the engine was defective, but the dealer would not approve a new engine, so they kept replacing parts. The vehicle was eventually returned to the consumer, with the same problem. The dealer checked the engine again, and discovered it was burning 1 quart of oil per hour and it was determined the engine needed to be replaced. The hard top was leaking and ruined the carpet. The starter was defective. Also the transmission was exhibiting a burning smell, it would slip and wouldn't go into gear and the fluid was no longer the correct color. Also, the temperature gauge rose just under the overheating point. The radiator cooling fan was defective. Also, there was a grinding noise coming from the transfer case.
