6 days to replace a coil pack. Should have paid $50 for the part at Auto Zone and done it myself, lesson learned.

A star hotline ticket is open but no real sense of urgency from dealer. I did manage to get a loaner so I'm not too concerned with how long they keep it, as long as they can fix it. Whether they can fix it, is a big if???

yesterday made 8 days for me - and they will have it until at least monday... 2014 JKU with Electrical issue they can't find. Started with the display showing doors open when they are all closed... Then is started making a weird chime, but no lights associated with it. Stealrship keeps going back and forth with Jeep and replacing different items. Now they are replacing the entire cluster... Crappy part is, i just bought the thing beginning of March...

Back in 2012 my jeep was in for a month with the cylinder head issue. Before that it was in 3 4 5 days many times due to the same issue they never could figure out.

Five weeks while the dealership sorted out an issue with ABS and traction control lights coming on randomly on my 15 JKU. I was beyond frustrated but the dealership did me right with loaner vehicles.

My first JKU was in the shop for over 2 months with a tranny rebuild after about 35K. I had a loaner so it wasn't the worst outside of losing my Jeep for the second half of the summer.

My current JKU just went into the shop today for the cylinder head issue after I could talk the Stealer into a compression test and the idea that the issue isn't the result of it needing spark plugs. Hopefully its done by Wed like they said it would be.
