2011 Jeep Wrangler Engine Problems

“My Jeep had a piston / connecting rod break through bottom of my engine block my Jeep was maintenanced and I'm second owner and it only has 74,000mi so go into now I'm paying on vehicle and no way get work, plug in my code reader and find code of death like really. Any way was indicated that my number 4 cylender had miss fire leading to stuck in a very expensive paper weight. I was driving northbound route 209”

“Driving home friday night engine started hard knocking and had catastrophic failure. Thrown rod. Called local Jeep dealer and corresponded with mother ship Jeep - told me to pound sand. Mentioned something about it being a canadian car and no warranty - how would I know that?”

“Traveling at 30-35mph I braked and turned quickly to make a left turn across traffic into a parking lot. The engine stalled causing my steering to seize. I had no control of the vehicle except to mash on the brakes which lost power. I was almost hit by cross traffic. I coasted to a stop, hitting a curb and nearly hitting several parked vehicles.”

“I was driving down the road going 55 MPH and a huge gust of white smoke came thru the dash vent system so I pulled over and got out of my Jeep sahara and noticed a big mass of white smoke coming out from under the hood... 2 minutes later, fire started and within a couple minutes my whole front part of the jeeps engine was engulfed in flames. Than from there it burned up the rest of the Jeep.. This vehicle was completely destroyed in a matter of 10-15 minutes.. I was driving on a paved road in the country ..”

“Engine failure. While traveling at 75mph on the highway, the vehicle lost power and threw a check engine light. I pulled over to the side of the road and shut off the vehicle and attempted to restart it. The vehicle did not immediately restart, but did so on the second try. I drove away and approximately a mile down the road, the vehicle began to knock and make banging noises, I pulled over once again and called a tow tuck. Vehicle was later diagnosed with failed rod bearings and required a full rebuild. Vehicle had 125k miles at the time of failure.”
