| Description of the problem | I bought the vehicle. In less than 1000 miles within purchase the 4w drive light came on. I was parked on a curb at a retirement home and a ambulance was parked in front of me. While i was inside people ran in and said my jeep was rolling away and it hit the ambulance in front of me. The jeep was parked and turned off when it rolled away. Witnesses and the police report confirm this. After getting the run around from the dealership for 6 months i took it somewhere else to get it looked at and was told the transfer case needed to be replaced. |
