| Description of the problem | I've had this car since 2011. There is one problem after another. I replaced the ac control module 3 times, replaced the evaporator sensor that was defective, replaced the tipm kit, etc. On friday, july 29 the car broke down and i was told the 8th cylinder stopped working. I took it to the jeep dealer in placentia for repairs. I paid $2400. On august 5th i was told i could pick up the car and the mechanic came and showed me how the cylinder was defective and along with the manager and two other technicians assured me that i would not have a problem again for years to come. Upon leaving the dealership i called and told them that the car still does not sound right, i was told to give it time. On august 5th i was driving on the freeway and all of a sudden the car's dashboard's lights started going off, the steering wheel blocked and the car slowly stopped. I could not start the car again. I was able to manage to bring the car almost to the wall and totally felt that my life was in danger. I had it towed to the dealer. The towing driver when he reached under the car to hook it up puled the glove and showed me that the transmission oil is all over the engine. At the jeep dealer i was given me a rental and took the car in. To this day, i am still driving the rental, i have no answer about the car and even though they will be fixing it, i will no longer feel safe in that vehicle. What do i do? This is ridiculous. |
