3 bad cams/lifters in 11k m?

Third times a charm with Ohio Lemon laws. I would much rather have Jeep make this right without the hassle of the law, and I hope they’d rather swap in a new engine over being forced to buy the jeep back from me.

An update: the dealer told me to pick up the jeep and drive it normally (and noisily) for a few weeks while they wait for the cam shafts, rockers, and lifters to arrive. A jeep care rep told me today to return it to the shop ASAP and rent a car to prevent causing potential further damage, and that once this is resolved my rental costs would be reimbursed by jeep. I’m cautious to take that leap of faith without an arrangement in writing, tho

Don’t drive it, the dealership needs to provide a car.

If I were you, I would call multiple other dealerships and ask them to replace the engine.

I feel like I’d drive it until it blew up to force them to put a new engine.

They're asking for trouble, tell the service manager to put it in writing that he Okayed driving it. Then I'd take them up on it and with any luck you'll huff the engine. Sad that they hire people who have a good line of BS but are clueless when it comes to auto repair especially the front line men, the service writers/managers.

In writing, it’s up to $35 per day for 1 week. My stepfather found that out with his Ram 2500 the hard way, I am sure Jeep is the same way (they have the same “Cares” team, only a different brand name). I would demand something in writing as you mentioned if more was promised... Best of luck! Unfortunately your dealer sounds incompetent and Jeep ”Cares” showing their usual self.

The incompetence of the service dept/manager is beyond belief. An oil change wasn’t part of the service - really? Drive it until it grenades, then they will have to give you a new motor.
