| Description of the problem | I purchased my jeep commander on february 12, 2014. A week after i purchased it my check light came on so i took it back to the dealership. It was for my catalytic converter. The people in the garage stated it was just a sensor and not to worry about it i told them to fix it while it was still covered under my warranty. They wouldn't. The next day all of the dome lights and dashboard lights in my truck started flickering while driving down the road. (still does it to this day). Soon after my brakes went out on me while driving down the road with my kids so i had to get the calipers and everything changed. Next it was the windows they all stopped working. The end of january 2015, while driving down the road again with my children, all of the lug nuts and bolts fell off of my tire rear passenger side tire. I ended up calling the tow truck and took it back to the dealership where i bought it. $2500 and two weeks later i get my truck back, have it for a day & it starts jerking on my way to work. They fixed everything that had to do with my tires and suspension. They also inform me i need my catalytic converter changed after they told me not to worry about it it's just the sensor acting funny. (it could've been fixed when i asked them to do it while it was covered under my warranty) now my lights start flashing my wheel speed sensors aren't working and is messing with my abs system and traction. They just tell me to shut the traction off while i'm driving it should fix the problem. I end up taking it back in the shop. A month later i'm driving home from work and my serpentine belt busts and i lose control of my truck. Another $500 dollar job. Present day, my truck is back in the shop for a routine brakes and rotors fix and they call and say i need my outer tirods fixed and rear axle something. I've put more money into this truck than i've paid for it in the past year. |
