We have just be told that we will have to replace our engine, because of the oil pressure in the engine. We have had repairs made for this problem every 2 to 3 months. We have had the same company work on our Jeep if you need further information. This problem has gotten so bad that the engine has to be replace to fix this problem. I have spoke to other customers and they to have had to replace their engine to stop this problem. I can not believe that I paid $35,000. 00 for my Jeep and now have to put in a new engine. Chysler has to have had other comsumer with the same problem. We have been buying chysler for a log time, and never had a problem like this before. I hope that you look into my problem. Any help on your in would help our family.
