Description of the problem | I am having my transfer case replaced for the second time on a 1994 jeep grand cherokee. My jeep has been sitting at the chrysler dealer for almost three weeks because the part is on "national backorder!" doesn't that tell you something right there!! I also almost got hit because the car would not turn or even move! I could not drive up a multi level parking deck because the turn was too tight! None of this seems to be a concern of daimlerchrysler! Chrysler has agreed to replae the defective part again, but they want me to pay a deductable of $400. What about my expense of a rental car. What about my inconveinience, what about my almost being hit because the car would not turn! I am not the only jeep owner that has had this problem. Each time i get the opportunity to ask an owner, it seems that they too have had this problem. One fellow went as far as contacting a lawyer. What further actions can i take- all i want is a new transfer case that will not "go bad" again and not to pay anything for it! I do only highway driving. *ak |
