Another update on my JKU overheating and leaking oil

Incidents & Traffic / Sudden Breakdown written by @DIRT_BOY 2015 JKU Sahara (Jeep Wrangler 2015)

So I have had my 2015 JKU Sahara in the shop now, for what might be the 8th time for over heating.

1. Bad radiator cap and I ran out of coolant

2. The coolant tank was broken, leaking coolant. Bad thermostat

3. Radiator leaking and bad thermostat

4. Still overheating, dealer did nothing. I burped it and it helped

5. Overheating again and oil cooler was leaking, replaced

7. Overheating and the O2 sensors went. Head gasket work

8. Overhearing again and this time the oil cooler leaked. Now the heads and rods need to be replaced.

Part on on back order going into week number too. FCA has been in contact but honestly they don't give a flying f@ck. probably because JL sales are going well and they want to kill the JK! Just kidding but I wonder.

Dealer told me 3-4 more business days for the parts to arrive.

I am really considering getting a lawyer to handle this. The dealer (best dealer in my county) botched the oil cooler install. Not only damage to my Jeep, but I have oil stains all over my newly refinished driveway.

I wish I could just dump this JKU for a JLU. Cant buy a new car yet. Might just give up on FCA if this new Bronco EVER get released and it a true competitor.
