| Description of the problem | My jeep upon being on the highway and in the right lane suddenly slowed down to the point of stalling and i had to bring the car to the side of the road and began shutting it off when coincidently the the light went on in the roof of the car and my headlight dimmed. I called the jeep place for an oil change and they diagnoised the car and did a recall on the ignition switch and told me the powertrain transfer case is bad and thermostat leaking from the housing and 4 wheel drive failed. I have never used the 4 wheel drive as i recently purchased the car at the end of april and own it for just 7 months. They said it will cost me over $750. 00 dollars to be fixed. I called chrysler and they said my vehicle is not included however on your web site nhtsa campain# 13v175000 seems to apply to my diagnoised problems. I love my car but this is a defect in manufacturing and not something that i have done. The previous owner had this car constantly maintained at executive jeep in north haven ct. I want my car fixed at chrysler's cost not mine. I drive my car with my grandchildren in it and now feel it is unsafe.. Please help me. I have all records for the car and the diagnostic information should you need it. I also have howard the manager at jeep phone #. |
