Overland 2 Row V8 Shut Off

I have a 22 JGC Overland 2 Row with a V8 Hemi that I ordered in February and received end of July. It has 3100 miles on it and died Friday night on what was supposed to be a quick turn and burn road trip out of state. Made a terrible clicking sound then shut off on the highway, luckily my husband was able to coast off onto an off ramp. Roadside had it towed to the nearest dealer for an afterhour drop. Dealer stated they tried to start it in the morning when they opened and it started smoking under the hood so they pushed it out by itself in the lot.. still waiting for a diagnosis, although it sounds more electrical than engine related to me. Meanwhile, we're back in Phoenix as my jeep sits in Vegas.... guess the saying is true, what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas... cuz that's where it stayed! Jeep Care was not helpful on a Saturday morning, they won't approve a rental car until there's a diagnosis. Dealer got us a rental car anyway, so now we wait. Hopefully hear something by mid week from the dealer.

That is so crazy!!! im glad you all are ok!!!. Jeep care needs to get it together, I hate how they advertise jeep as the adventure vehicle but when something happens on that adventure, they are no use. Praying for a speedy recovery 🙏

Just got the call from the dealer. Need a new engine, said a piston is laying upside down in it. Said they've never seen that before... gonna be a long road I think..... but the dealership has been great so far!
