Stelantis -- Hurricane -- Yikes!

Yowser, the mechanic talks like this is nothing new.

Part of the reason I plan to keep my V8 Rebel for a long time. I have no faith in the Hurricane, and the V8 is no longer an option in the 1500 series.

Although the Wrangler diesel has a few years on it, to replace the turbo the cab has to come off....

Same here. I considered ordering one of the RHO but I decided to wait and see how they hold up.

“Not that serviceable” is an understatement.

We have the lesser Hurricane in our jeep wagoneer. 25K miles. Perfect so far. Good power and decent MPG.

Does anyone wonder why the CEO of Stelantis bailed this week, well before his planed retirement at the end of his contract in 2026?

The stock is down 45% year to date. He was likely forced out.

Disagreement with the board, for sure.

No doubt things are not happy over there.

The Toyota store using the strip mall parking lot next them to store pickups. Lot is now full. Crazy amount of man hours to replace every single engine affected by the recall.

I think the HO version does not have an EGR system, so at least it has that going for it.

That’s perfect, he can simply trade for the shelter green BRaptor on the lot he coasted into

I saw that, broken ring. Wonder who they source them from? Global components continue to bite us in the ass.

This is the kind of stuff I'm talking about when I harp on FCA products. These kids of issues are far too common. Every brand is susceptible to issues, but these kinds of catastrophic issues are happen way more often. When Enterprise started putting Wagoneers on rent, a mutual tow truck driver we use said he had towed 3 of them for Enterprise in a week for overheating and blown head gaskets.

Sooooo.. you’re saying I should dump my hellcat quick? LOL

I have been thinking about a RHO. Probably not now.

Sad state of the world that the ecoboost motors are probably the most reliable right now.

 

[03cobra#694]

Especially the 2.7.

I honestly don't hear about or see a lot of issues with the Hellcats and performance models, but I'm sure they have some. It's the regular engines, the 2.4, 3.6, 5.7, and now the Hurricane that come up often with some ridiculous issues that are due to poor engineering or quality.

I’ve had my fair share of hiccups with it to be honest. 2nd owner and bought with 11k miles.
