| Description of the problem | 2005 jeep grand cherokee v8 w/hemi. Took the jeep to a dealership for repairs for stalling. They detected a leak from the ac unit and a seal that was letting the water enter the transmission they flushed it refilled it. Look that recalls found a recall number e-13 on a 2005 jeep grand cherokee that stated the same thing cept for if the torque converter is compromised it would be replaced. Call the chrysler number offered on the website and ask them if there was anything they could do they stated no there was nothing they could do so it's going to be an expense to me because it wasn't stated for the v8 engine it was only stated for the 3. 7 liter engine. This is very troubling because if they didn't detect that and the other vehicles then obviously it's going to cause an accident or something to happen when you lose power throughout your vehicle especially when you're on the highway or even a busy road. I stated to them it is word for word and what was wrong with my car and they still. And being on disability at the moment and trying to pay for these repairs and still paying the car off is very difficult. I would like this issue to be resolved by the chrysler. If they neglected to see any issues in the v8 model that occurred in the 3. 7 liter engine model there will probably be lawsuits against them. It is frustrating that this is happening and they can't help a jeep owner out probably will never bite you again. Let's just hope my engine don't catch on fire either. Being afraid to drive a car is not ok expecially when it's the only car you have and you can't afford to repair or buy a new one cuz you're on disability. |
