| Description of the problem | Day 1.... Car just stopped out of no where a picture of a battery showed up and the car just stopped and shut down on its own day 2.... Took car in to get a new battery because that was totally dead but on day 3... The battery did not fix the problem the car once again shut down on me and this time it was in the middle of the freeway i was stuck for a couple of hours cant even jump the car cuz it still wont start it so i had to get it towed off the freeway.. Midday of day 3 discovered it was the alternator and finds out there were for 4 recalls on my car so i took it to the jeep dealership. They stated they can only fix 3 out of 4 of the recall due to not having all the parts and informed me it will be done before the day is over. 4:30pm came around and i called to check in on the car to see if it was ready the worker stated yes come pick it up so i did and when i was almost home the same problem the car shut down on me so i called the dealership to take the car back in before it fully shut down altogether. Day 4.... Dealership called me about 11am and stated ok theres nothing wrong with it and i can go pick it up so i stated ok but about an hour later when i was about to be on my way the dealership stated wait do not come pick it up yet because there is something with the computer system of the car and that the steering power is not connecting to the alternator and is shutting the car down but the part to fix it wont be in til tommorrow. Day 5.. Still waiting for my car to be fixed..... Please if there is anyway i can just simply swap this lemon with a different car that would be great i have a 4 year old and this is a safety hazard and according to one of the recall the car can crash without notice.... Help me pleaseeeeeee... Updated 08/06/15 *bf updated 12/23/2015*js |
