So i have noticed my jeep has been leaking a red fluid. I kept thinking it was my transmission cooler lines leaking but yesterday i realized that my engine is leaking coolant. A gasket is broken and now i am being told by the dealership it is going to cost around $1350 in labor and then i dont know how much parts will cost which i guess wont be much.
My jeep has 44,000 miles on it and was purchased on december 13,2008
I am out of warranty but is there not a warrenty on this?
Can someone help me on this because lately i feel like my jeep is falling apart...

 

Which gasket?

 

Which gasket?

 

A gasket on the engine will be covered by your Lifetime Power Train Warranty.

 

where is it leaking at? I too have a leak.

 

well today it got tested and its the gasket around the water pump. its going to coust around $1300 but it is actually covered in the lifetime powertrain warranty. I was not informed of it until today so i am happy and they are also giving my jeep a23 point inspection for free. i am very surprised at how everything has been because they did not question lift, tires, gears, ect... at all

 

You are covered, so it doesn't matter, but $1300 for a water pump gasket is criminal.

 

yeh thats what i thought. they told me it would cost $120 to first even touch my jeep and then it would probably need 5-6 hours of labor and then parts

 

Find another dealer next time. This almost sounds criminal.

 

Yeah, find another dealer.. That is absurd!
