New 2.0L Turbo Issues?

[2024JLdead]

It's more like by the time the warning system indicates a problem engine damage could have already occurred. Your temperature gauge doesn't even start moving until ~240. By 250 the heat indicators on the back of the heads trigger, and by 260 it's without a doubt toast. Very little warning is given before damage occurs. It isn't like the old days where our gauges were accurate. You also aren't expected to be able to safely pull over the vehicle during an overheating condition.

Another example is if your engine is burning oil and it's ~3-4 quarts low the gauge will read completely fine until you take a turn or some other action that causes the pickup to suck in air.

Trying to blame the owner because half the 2.0s in existence left the factory with loose water outlet bolts is just a shitty thing to do. You can't fault the owner for shit build quality. Imagine if a rear differential was leaking slowly, they'd have no idea until it started making noise, and by that time the rear is toast.

My warning lights never came on???
Even the Jeep App says all is 100% perfect

It's a 9 month old 2024 Jeep..... it should be perfect!!!! ,--- but it's not. The engine needs 14L repair because of all the seals breaking and leaking oil into the cylinder

Italian or American made motor? Your window sticker will tell you.

How to tell

Your window sticker. Bottom right corner iirc.

Have had less problems with the Italian one. American motor constantly throws that phantom cold start injector code. Dealer opened up a STAR thingy. Not fun plugging in the SGW if you’re rusty.

Well, yeah. You should have ZERO powertrain issues under warranty. The point of the warranty is them going "we bet it'll be fine for X many miles".
