| Description of the problem | I have a 2014 jeep grand cherokee with a 3. 0l ecodiesel engine that had the approved jeep v08 recalled installed. Since having a certified technician install the v08 emissions recall, my vehicle has been back to the dealer repeatedly to have the following parts replaced: 14 total fuel injectors, fuel lines (high and low pressure) from tank to engine replaced twice, fuel tank cleaned, def injector replaced, numerous sensors and the fuel pump replaced. Each "fix" works for anywhere from 1 - 6 weeks before a light comes on again and the vehicle needs to be taken back to the dealer. Each of these repairs has included additional charges that were required to be paid out of pocket. Prior to the v08 emissions recall, i drove the vehicle over 100,000 miles without an issue. Since the recall, driving habits have not changed, but miles per gallon have dropped 2-3 mpg. The dealer and jeep have also indicated that since the recall was installed, the vehicle must be driven differently compared to prior to the recall. According to the v08 recall notice, jeep promised the recall would not affect the way the vehicles drives and also would not affect mileage, which has been proven false. |
