Description of the problem	Randomly, my car wouldn't start and i would think that the battery went dead. Then, another jeep owner told me to put my foot on the brake and jiggle the shifter, and that it should work. This worked and after about a year of utilizing this work around, the car felt like it was slipping in between gears as i was driving. It felt like it was fishtailing, however i would see the auto-steering and abs lights pop up on the dashboard and it felt like the car was losing control. I took it to several mechanics whom would check the starter, realign, do more random testing and the problem persisted. After thousands of dollars and hours spent trying to identify the issue, i eventually received a recall notice in the mail telling me that there was indeed a major issue, however the part needed to correct it was unavailable and more needed to be manufactured. It also stated that i shouldn't drive the vehicle, but rent a car until the part was available and that the cost would be reimbursed eventually, once a part was available to repair the issue. I could not afford to rent a car for an unknown amount of time... And the part remained unavailable for the duration of the time that i owned it. I tool it to a mechanic at one point, explained to them about the recall which they were familiar with, and they replaced my starter, hoping that this would make the car "safer" until the part was available. It did help, however did not rectify the issue. By the time the part became available, i had already spent thousands trying to fix it and had traded it in to a dealership when i took on a lease. Now it doesn't seem to matter how much money i spent trying to fix the issue prior to the part being available as they are only willing to reimburse you for the specific recall itself. Maybe had i been calling them from a hospital room as a result of an accident, they would feel differently.
