Hey guys instead of posting to my old thread I started a new one. Some of you may be sick of me by now but I ask for your patience because you would be frustrated too if this was you. Ive had an oil leak for most of my ownership( discovered at 6K miles currently with 9800 miles). My Jeep has spent almost 6 month off an on ( 4 months, 1 months and close to 1 month again now) in the first year.
Ive had the oil cooler/filter housing replaced ( 4 month wait) then the left timing chain cover. Ive had a STAR case twice with JEEP case manager following. Its currently at the shop ( 1 month now) and they are replacing the oil cooler again. They are working with a team of engineers. Im hearing that the gasket that goes in between the cooler may not have been changed last time even though they told me specifically they changed it and its on my work order. My case is now being handled by Jeep customer retention.
I dont know what to believe from what they tell me. I cant believe that the oil cooler has to be replaced twice on a new car. They have used dye and have a diesel tech working on it.
I have a few mods on the car and a garage full waiting to go on. Ive opted for them to fix it but dont believe they can or if they do that it will be reliable since its been messed with so many times.
What would you do?
If its fixed keep it or trade it in?
Wait till it leaks and ask for a buy back?
Get a buy back and get another model?Im considering trading it for a 392 because I dont want the 3.6, 2.0, or 4XE ( nothing against those).
The Ecodiesel has rubbed me the wrong way and I dont trust it. Im sick of the lack of part availability and no techs knowing how to work on it. I know this will only get worse and resale will likely not be good as I get passed the waranty period. If I factory order another it will be a long time and I have to convert my jeep back to stock and lose a few things I cant take off. Not sure how long the buy back process takes and if they will give me the full price of the Jeep.
Thoughts?
