| Description of the problem | While driving, i started hearing some bumping underneath my compass and a day later it knock and driving rough. I made it to work and immediately call tow. A day after the tow, i received a call from the repair shop and was told that my sub frame had rusted through and broke. I only had the vehicle for two tears and a few months, and still paying for it. I contacted jeep corp. And was told the was nothing they could do for me. My fidelity warranty states what they cover, but when i contacted them they told me that after five years they deems the bad tie rods as wear & tear. I was never told that when i purchased the service contract. If my prayers aren't heard, then i must pay $2700 out of my pocket. |
