Wrangler JK 2017 problems - cylinder misfire second time occuring
Hi guys
I'll need some suggestions and advice for my troublesome wrangler.
It's a 2 door manual petrol brand new wrangler.
I've purchased her from JohnHughes about 7 months ago.
First problem occurred 2 months after I've purchased it. Engine fault alarm come up as I was just driving to into Perth from Kalgoorlie. JohnHughes service kept her for a week, replaced bunch of parts and said its all good.
About 2 months later I've noticed that the engine is leaking oil. I've took it back to Perth (from Kalgoorlie) for service a month after that and get it checked out. This time they've kept her for 2 days. It seems the seal wasn't in properly and they've assured me it had nothing to do with the last check where they've replaced bunch of parts. I was assured the jeep is in good shape.
Four days later, as I was driving back home to Kal, the same engine fault alarm came up. Multiple times it beeped and blinked but then disappeared. Finally, just as I was driving into Meckering, blinks and beeps were continuos so I stopped and called the Jeep road side assistance.
I won't go into the crap and bullshit I had to go through with the road side assistance. This was on last Sunday arvo, middle of nowhere so I'll give them the benefit of doubt. As it is, I'm waiting JohnHughes service to open and have chat before I leave.
Is this a common problem with Wranglers? Missfiring cylinder can't be a simple issue!! Has anyone else had this problem?
At what point can I claim, the wrangler I've got is a bloody lemon!! And ask for a replacement!
