And... guess what?
Just over 1000 miles. Truck just got back from 11 days at the dealer where they did nothing but play with the ECM. 3 days later, there is is again!
My dealer ordered me slush mats for writing a good review of the salesman.
The truck is all black and I want to keep it that way but these mats have the Jeep logo in red.
Anyone willing to swap theirs with me?
Northwest Washington.
That makes total sense.
I remember every time I have gotten the CEL and it follows the pattern. I believe the one time I shut off the engine to see if the ASS would go away and boom, there it was. I will be sure to take mine in immediately next time I get the ASS and have them check the codes...
I swapped out my loaner for a ram 1500 today. Dealer is convinced they have fixed the problem but I am skeptical.
Buyback manager has emailed me twice but still no actual phone call.
The dealership washed the thing and installed my slush mats so I think they are aware how pissed off I am about...
I was supposed to get mine back this morning but after all the troubleshooting with the ecm, dealership took it for a drive and got same error codes.
So they are trying something new tomorrow.
I have been driving a renegade for a week and it's like a clown car to me. If the dealership had told me that they were going to have it more than just the weekend, I would be on the Harley all week but I was afraid they would call mid week and say " swap back to your truck".
On a happy note...
Local dealer also said he has not heard "any" issues with buybacks or lemon lawing these new gladiators.
I should have put on my tall boots because that was pretty deep crap he was slinging.
Dude at my local dealership is "tuning" the PCM and thinks that will be the fix for their second official attempt.
They have not made any physical changes to the vehicle or plan to. I should get it back tomorrow.
Anyone want to place odds on how long it lasts without getting the check engine...
Well add mine to the list of Gladiators that the "software fix" did absolutely nothing for. Out of the shop Wednesday afternoon, CEL Friday morning. Now rocking a Renegade as a rental.
Document everything folks. Lemon law, here we come.
