Pentastar camshaft problems
 
I have a 2012 Wrangler Rubicon with 63K miles on it. In the last 11K miles I have had 8 camshafts and 64 lifters replaced. I reached out to Chrysler, and they don't really seem to care (all covered under warranty to date) I'm considering doing an engine swap and wanted to see if anyone had suggestions?

Thanks!

Did you purchase new? I would assume this would fall under the Lemon Law??

Hi, I checked the Lemon Law for Arizona last week. It only applies to vehicles that are 2 years old or newer with less than 24K miles.

Check with RubiTrux are any other motor swap vendor. Often times, they'll have the 3.6 around for cheap.

When did those start occurring?

Maybe look for a different dealer service department. 8 cam and lifter swaps in that short milage tells me they're not doing it correctly.
