More time in the shop than on the road....

[Teqsand]

So I ordered my loaded 22 JTRD in Nov 21, showed up Feb 22, YEA!!!! since that drive home from Las Vegas to SoCal... it's been UNFUN....
Drive home I got 18 mpg best....
CA made me smog is before I could register it in Cali, pain in the ass but showed a problem. It wouldn't pass smog. Jeep said it needed 6k miles on it before the sensors would seat in (BS) so at 7.00 gallon I drove it around putting over 2k miles on it from late Feb to late Mar. Still no love....
Found the xfer case leaking, week in the shop for parts.
Hooked up Jscan and found EGT/VVT issues. Dealer said nothing wrong (BS) drove another 500 miles to Apr. took it back in and they "found something" (egt harness) so it sat for near a month waiting on that harness... got it, drove home...
Windshield washer went out, back in the shop for 2 days....
Shock TSB, back for another 2 days..
90 miles later ... and BOOM the high pressure fuel pump imploded and destroyed the entire fuel system....
Will be down for another month for parts....

3000 miles on it.... I didn't buy it to crawl the mall, I got it to get lost In the backwoods... I don't trust it anymore

You should unload it and try something else, you will have trust issues with going forward.

I fell ya on the fuel pump. Mine blew at 4581. I have 16k on it now. No further issues so far. Minus the leaking axle seal. Fixed that too under warranty. When you get it back. Talk to Jeep Cares about an extended warranty. Ask for the 7year 125k disappearing deductible and free rental car. I believe that is what I got. Mine was down for 45 days. Good luck.

I like that extended warranty idea....

If I was you I'd lemon the sucker... Despicable for a $50k+ vehicle.

60k when I ordered it, 67k on the sticker when delivered.... seems it could be a helluva lot better for that money

@Teqsand , any chance your'e the guy I ran into at the gas station on Edwards AFB the other day? Sounds like the same issues he was describing to me.

 

[Teqsand]

I can neither confirm nor deny we met at the diesel pump... lol

Sensors seating in…..that’s some shit a recently promoted lube rack tech would say.
Man that blows camel appendages. That much coin and no miles, with laundry list of issues. But just think though, once those sensors seat in it will be right as rain.
