Hello all,
I was wondering if people have had ANY engine problems yet. My girlfriend has a 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee and has been in and out of the shop here in Colorado for the past month & a half. So we would be driving and the auto start/stop would pop up saying it is unavailable...5-10 seconds later the check engine light goes on, then it starts blinking (not safe to drive). The most recent visit the Larry H Miller dealer said that there was "insufficient ionization of ignition coil number 5. Grounding pins moved around. Swapped coils. Still under warranty at 26,000 miles". Sounded BS to me, especially since it just happened again for the 4th time in a month & a half.
This recent engine trouble has me hesitant to buy a gladiator (been waiting for the granite crystal metallic). I was between the Tacoma and gladiator, to begin with, but thought the Tacoma lacks severely in the interior/tech side of things. Toyota's are dinosaurs that have proven to be reliable. Just wondering if anyone has had trouble OR some guidance on this dilemma.
Thanks!
