Total loss of heat on the passenger side. Now the drivers side has no heat either. I live in canada and we need the heat to work or the vehicle is totally useless if you can't see out the windshield! Jeep dealers are aware of the problem, but won't fix it by recall. They expect you to pay anywhere from 800-1500 for them to fix it and a loss of your jeep for at least 3 days. This is nuts! *tr

While it was still under warranty the vehicle would spit and sputter and i'd smell gas. The vehicle would stall. The facility changed the #3 injector and it ran okay for a short time. It did it again and "something else"…

The cost to repair this issue, which has been known to pop up again after another 50k miles after repair, is generally $800-$1500 from a dealership. My jeep has this issue and it is caused by poor…
