I had a 2007 GCL, never had an issue like this.

After a carwash or driving in the rain, this Jeep sheds what seems like gallons.

Example:

Got it washed yesterday, drove about 20 miles doing errands, came home & parked it inside. A few hours later, there's water everywhere, and I mean everywhere.

On a dry day - there isn't a drop of anything in the garage or driveway,

Can't figure it out.

Bought a sweatshirt described as Good - Worn Once.

It came really wrinkled like it had been wadded up & had a funky smell.

Soaked in warm water & baby shampoo for an hour. When I lifted it out of the sink, this was the result.

Is it worth reaching out to the seller to tell them this was really disappointing?

Vehicle died upon starting the other night. Would run for a few seconds then die out. Happened multiple times.

Had towed to the selling dealer, from whom I bought the ext warr.

Turned out it needed an ignition coil. One. Warranty covered. No deductible.

Dealer charged the warr co $125 for the part & $600 labor. I have no idea if that's fair but it cost me zero out of pocket.

They added 30 miles, which concerns me. The town they're in isn't but five miles across.

Additionally, on Monday morning , when it was running fine the MPG display showed 16.8. When I picked it up this evening, shows 15.3

Does that sound like a tech drove it home & beat on it ?

Regular at $4.99 at three stations on Rte 43 and Lake Cook Rd. Bp, Shell Mobil. Went up 50 cents this week

Wondering if my avg MPG is always going to be in the mid teens.

Jeep is used mostly for suburban drives with a few runs at 50MPH on weekends. .

I've only put 2k miles on in five months. Still has under 40k.

When I bought it last fall, (and left Eco mode on) the best I got was low 18's. With Eco off over the winter, it dropped to 16 MPG.

Was told that summer/winter gas blends may have had some effect.

Is this pretty much average that that year/make/model?

FWIW, my old GCL with a 4.7 got 14/16 MPG

thanks in advance for your comments.

ETA - 265/50/20 tires if that makes a difference.
