| While trying to use the ac on my 2004 jeep wrangler , it was overheating. i took to a dealership service dept.they said it was the clutch fan.replaced under warranty and told me it worked fine after being test driven and verified. i drove the next day,could not use the air because as soon as the motor warmed up it overheated to 260. i shut it down and had it towed back to same dealership(3rd time). told them to check thermostat waterpump etcc.. explained that i can't even drive it now for overheating. three and half hours later they said it is a radiator restriction and i am 32 nd on a list because apparently there has been quite a problem with the radiator on the jeep wrangler but no recalls. they also say they don't know if it is covered under warranty. i have had it less than a year and only has 24000 miles on it. the warranty is 3/yr/36000 i believe. am checking on htis. has anyone else reported this problem? | |||
