| Description of the problem | My 2015 jeep grand cherokee has 85,820 miles & the radiator was found leaking when brought in for a engine code indicating the thermostat was bad. The thermostat was replaced ($130. 00 part) and then the chrysler dealer told me the radiator needed to be replaced. My dealer mentioned this has been more common with jeeps and they now keep the radiator in stock. It cost just under an additional $900. 00 to have the radiator replaced. If so many jeep's are having the same issue why has a recall not been issued. I have never had a radiator fail in any of my vehicles so soon. Is this not justification for a recall? I would think owners should be notified (ahead of time) of this potential failure if indeed it is this common an occurrence. |
