General Comments:
I loved getting my Jeep. Handles the road very well. Our family of 5 fit very comfortably in it.
At about 39,000 miles the check gage light came on and oil pressure was dropping.
Was told by numerous mechanics nothing wrong. They said to try 20-25 oil.
I finally took it to a JEEP dealership when one mechanic said it was oil pump. I was under the impression that I was being taken for a ride. How could my 4-year-old truck need such a costly repair?
I was in for a major shock. Excessive engine wear due to cylinder spacing. This is causing my oil pressure to drop. Repair will be 3500.00. Leaves a bad taste in my mouth. No more warranty. Now I see someone else who said they had a faulty oil pump, which caused their engine to be replaced. Is Jeep hiding something?

I have the shaking issue as well, but nowhere near as bad as this fella. I love my Jeep. Maybe you should drive it like a jeep, not like a car.
