THIS TIME (6TH) I HAVE TO REPLACE THE CATALYTIC CONVERTERS. THERE IS A REASON THEY CALL JEEPS "HEAPS" I LOVE THAT I CAN CLIMB ANYTHING, BUT IT STALLS OUT AND HAS NO POWER AND FORGET 65 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY. JEEP HAS BEEN MAINTAINED INCREDIBLY WELL, HAS NEVER GOTTEN HOT AND THE DRIVER SIDE EXHAUST JUST KEEPS CRACKING

tHIS IS 4TH TIME IN 4 YEARS. ORINALLY OCCURRED WHEN UNDER WARRANTY. NEXT TIME I WILL FIX IT MYSELF. SO FAR THE COSTS EXCEED $4000.00. THAT DOESNT INCLUDE THE HASSLE OF BEING TOWED, BROKEN DOWN, WAITING 6 HOURS TO GET IT TOWED. THEN LOSING A DAY OF WORK. LITHIA JEEP IN RENO HAS CONSISTENTLY LIED TO ME AND PERFORMED HORRIBLY.

DEALER REPLACED DRIVER SIDE EXHAUST MANIFOLD - I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE IT 6 TIMES. SEEMS TO ME THEY JUST PUT A BAND AID ON IT INSTEAD OF ADDRESSING THE REAL ISSUE. I AM ABOUT TO REPLACE IT A 7TH TIME AS WELL AS CATALYTIC CONVERTERS. I BOUGHT THIS BRAND NEW AND I KNOW THE ENGINE HAS NEVER OVERHEATED. I WILL ALSO TRY TO IMPROVE AIR FLOW. I GET 14 MPG!!
