- 2021 JLU 2.0T
If the diagnosis is correct, you have my empathy.I picked up my new 2021 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392 Recon earlier this week. I stopped by the local post office to pickup my mail and when I tried to start the vehicle it sputtered and killed. The dealer towed it to their shop and determined one of the pistons had failed. The dealer wants to put an new engine in the Jeep but I'm not to excited about that.
I contacted Jeep about the problem and I'm hopeful they will make it right by replacing the jeep or buying it back. I really like the Jeep but I'm not looking forward to waiting another 4 month's to have a new one built.
Any thoughts or suggestions?
My 1995 YJ required short block replacement perhaps 3 months after purchase, due to a condition called piston slap (i.e., incorrect cylinder boring). When the problem began to reoccur a few months later, I lost faith in the vehicle and sold it to a Jeep dealer.
25 years later, my 2021 JLU has been perfect. I hope you obtain a timely resolution to this matter.
