tapet cover gasket leaked oil onto a o2 sensor. replace

After five years, the exact same vehicle is worth 10,000 more Canadian dollars. After regular maintenance and thousands of dollars of charges I think it's time to a buy made in China vehicle, at a China price to eliminate the headaches or at least afford the headaches.

Wrangler Unlimited 3.6L V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 151,867 miles

My engine light was on again. My Jeep was having trouble shifting i was told that the catalytic converter had to be replaced because of the emissions were not being released correctly causing the computer to not read correctly. So hear we go again it was in the shop for a week . I asked if they could order the parts and then I would bring it to be fixed and it still took a full week . Then with in two weeks here we go again it was not shifting correctly again. I asked the service to have a tech drive my jeep before the converter was replaced. I thought they did- but They did not. I was told later. So again my jeep was in the shop. This time it was the oil pressure pump had to be replaced ???

I was told that it was not reading correctly to inform the transmission to shift. I was having to let off the gas to get the transmission to shift or it would just climb the rpms until I let off . I was driving like I had a manual transmission. So A full week later It is back in the shop. WHY does it always take A week to fix the jeep. So far my jeep has been in the shop for 6 weeks since Jan 1,2016 . Well the oil pump was replaced and I have been driving it for two weeks as Friday May 27,2016. I started up Friday morning drove two miles down the road and Guess What ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AGIAN!!!! I have not had time to take into the shop yet. So the story so on???
