Ok, was asking because I read a situation where a plastic fuel line on a 2.0T cracked. A possible contributing factor was the removal of the factory skid plate also removed one of the supports for the fuel line. I think there may have also been a TSB to replace one of the push lock connectors but not sure.
Interesting and makes sense!
YUP! My jeep was in the shop for 44 days with an engine replacement. I approved the ātear down processā and then it took 25 days for the adjustor/inspector to come look at the damaged engine and then to approve my replacement via my extended warranty service contract.Working with Jeep Customer Care > got the updated diagnosis (where it is now) from the dealership/Jeep Customer Care. Not an Engineer or Mechanic, but metallic debris and seized ATM sounds like an engine to me - mechanics at the dealership and the Jeep Cust. Care rep agreed, sounds like an engine. I requested to start the buyback process today, rep routed it for buyback approval, said its a pretty straightforward case, 48-72 hours on a decision for that. 49 days in the shop as of today. Engine teardown scheduled TBD somewhere in the future, no date set due to 6 other tear downs a head of me in line.
No guesses on the real issue, what that will take to fix, and or how long that will take. Done, done with this one on my end. Letās see where it all goes!
Ughā¦ sadly never got to run the defroster on the 392 so I dont know if it worked same, better or worse than the 18 i had. Will say, minus the windshield defroster sucking and the rear ones wire continually falling off the glass, the 18 was pretty bullet-proof. Honestly, my 18 was overall a good Jeep.
Not probably the solution you are looking for, but here is how mine went.
They gave me the timeline/guesstimate, were tracking at at least 6 months before they could do the replacement. Sold it as is to the dealership (then magically the engine got replaced REAL fast - no suprises there) no loaners, didn't have a lot of faith in how well the repair would have been completed, just walked. Tried a Ram Rebel for a few months, decided that was too nice and too much truck for me, went back and am in a jlur 4xe now. No problems with it yet, liking it so far. But, if it decides to meltdown like my 392 did, will sell it and prob. end up in a regular v6 one
Most mfgs. won't jump to buy-back as a first offer. And if and when you do eventually get there it is normally after you have traveled a long and highly frustrating road. One exception, one of the buy-backs I went through was on a VW R32, quite a while ago. It seized, was in the shop for about 5 weeks and VW reached out with an on the spot buy-back and I took it. Did not have to fight with them and it was quick. The others I have experienced, again, long frustrating process. This time neither fca or I wanted to move to the next evolution in the process, they made me a good offer on "anything on the dealer's lot" (same amount off/any vehicle), dealer did not have a Wrangler in stock or on a truck I wanted, I drove off in a new Ram. The deal was mostly fair and immediate. Zero frustration and immediate were the drivers for me this go around. Kept the truck till it was worth a few dollars, sold it and moved into another Wrangler.
Had mine repaired twice, 3rd time they changed the whole glass, repair no.3 on second glass and window exploded like a 12 gauge shotgun. Jeep was in shop for 6 weeks and backwindow was still backordered. Got tire of waiting and ordered one from a car windshield replacement shop. they had it within a day and never had a problem after 2years/winters.
