| Description of the problem | I bought a 2007 jeep compass 11 months ago from lithe chevrolet/dodge/jeep. It had 64,000 miles on it. In the 11 months that i have had the car the rack and pinion and steering pump have had to be replaced twice. At my expense. The ball joints have been replaced. My struts and brand new tires are destroyed. The whole bottom of the vehicle feels like it is going to separate from the frame. I started having these problems within 1 week of owning the vehicle. The dealership would not honor the warranty and would blow it off as me being "silly". The check engine light has been on 3 times and rather than fixing the car they just "reset" the engine light. |
