Sounds like to me it's a blown head gasket and instead of pulling the head, making sure it's straight and sticking on another gasket, they went the route that makes the most sense, replace the engine. What I've seen (as I had this issue) was a QC problem of not tightening the bolts on the lower water pump flange. Thus the coolant comes out and sooner or later, it'll overheat. Luckily I caught mine in time. Since I cranked down on those bolts, they have never come loose again. So it tells me that Jeep need to look at that workstation and recalibrate the torque gun or look at whoever is working that station (which will never happen).
When you mass produce things, there will be failures. I had a cell phone that failed in a month. Got a replacement and it was fine. Looking in the intranets, a few other people had the same issue, thus it can seem like everyone is having that problem, thus junk and you need another brand.
