| Description of the problem | 2005 jeep cherokee rack steering went out already and obviously jeep won't back this for its not under "warranty". But when you call they say if you get it fixed by one of our guys you "may" qualify for special financing?... What is that all about?..."special financing"... So they can make more money off you?... This jeep is literally driven about 14 miles a day 5 days a week on the highway to and from work. The rest of the time we drive our car to save on gas. I just can't believe the rack steering would go out already!!. $1088 dollars later. A vehicle this young should not have steering problems. Has there been others with the same problem on their jeeps? |
