| Description of the problem | I purchased a used 2004 jeep grand cherokee in january of 06. I have had it 3 1/2 months now and about a week and a half ago the vehicle started to idle rough when i'd come to a red light. Then the next day i my wife used the jeep and stated that the engine light was on and it felt like it wanted to stall. I brought it to the dealer and they said that i blew an injector and the other injectors had carbon build up in them. My jeep only has 27,00 miles on it. They changed the injector and then cleaned the others. It was still under warranty. I was suppose to leave sunday may 14th to drive to ny from fla. On friday may 13th the jeep started acting up again. It ran worse than the previous time. I brought it back and stated that it is worse and i need the problem corrected asap because i am traveling to ny on sunday,2 days later. They hooked it up to the computer and came back and stated that they would have to replace the pcm in the vehicle. They said that the control board was bad. Now i am paying for a lease car,i am without my jeep,and was suppose to have left for ny on sunday. It is now monday. I believe that when you purchase a vehicle that said vehicle should be reliable. My jeep only has 27,000 miles on it, it shouldn't have a computer problem yet. The dealer is supposedly fixing the situation. But from what i have been reading here,i may have a ongoing situation. What recourse do i have. Do i have a case for the lemon law? *nm |
