Yall need to add another recall to the list. "sand in the collant system". I have had to power flush my sytem twice now do to this "factory overlook". I had 2" on sand in the bottom of my overflow and my heat went out so I'm positive the heater core was clogged. Power flushed the system and all is well for now. if I wasnt mechanically inclined I'm sure I would have never picked up on it. I've read tons of forums and a lot of Jeep owners have the same issue. Shame on you Chrysler for letting these vehicles hit the public like that.
