| Description of the problem | Sorry i'm not sure why it does this... When i'm driving sometimes and i take my foot off the gas to slow down.. For some reason my car on it own.. Speeds up.. I watch the rpm and there is a big jump in rev.. I'm not sure what that is.. I actually lurch forward. I'm scared that one day it's going to hit a person or go through the wall of my garage! The second thing is my light switch i am not sure why but twice it's pushed into my dash board .. . The first time it happened i was stuck at dusk .. Couldn't drive.. My normal dealership in north seattle called the dwayne lane in everett and they told my dealership that they won't do warranty work.. So my dealership had to send out a guy from service and drive all the way to everett to do a temporary fix... The third complaint .. Now at 9500 miles there's a leak in my engine coolant.. And it left me stranded in everett and had to be towed.. By the way tried to go to the everett dealership dwayne lane and again they wouldn't help me this time.. I had no ride home and they wouldn't provide a rental car.. Even though i paid for a very expensive extended warranty. I had the car towed the next day to marysville jeep dealership and they are wonderful! Don't buy from dwayne lane in everett!!!! The service department is the worst in the country. I've heard many horror stories from clients.. To tow truck drivers .. To other dealers. |
