| Description of the problem | while trying to use the ac on my 2004 jeep wrangler , it was overheating. I took to a dealership service dept. They said it was the clutch fan. Replaced under warranty and told me it worked fine after being test driven and verified. I drove the next day,could not use the air because as soon as the motor warmed up it overheated to 260. I shut it down and had it towed back to same dealership(3rd time). Told them to check thermostat waterpump etcc.. Explained that i can't even drive it now for overheating. Three and half hours later they said it is a radiator restriction and i am 32 nd on a list because apparently there has been quite a problem with the radiator on the jeep wrangler but no recalls. They also say they don't know if it is covered under warranty. I have had it less than a year and only has 24000 miles on it. The warranty is 3/yr/36000 i believe. Am checking on htis. Has anyone else reported this problem? |
