| Description of the problem | I have replaced the tail lights (4x within 12months), fog light (after one exploded and melted the housing), lights in visor (safety recall), day time running lights (6x), a sensor has quit working on the engine module that tells the engine when it is up to temperature, and the leather dash suddenly warped. My vehicle has 60,000 miles on it and already i have replaced various lights on it (the day time running lights need a trained mechanic) costing me a ton of money. The warped dash was inspected by the manager of rice chrysler dodge in knoxville, tn informed me that the glue allowed the dash to lift and that i would have to pay for this manufacture defect, and i just received a letter in the mail that another safety recall is being issued for the engine stalling that could cause a deadly accident. I think that my vehicle should be registered as a lemon, i have always trusted jeep, always had jeeps, but this one has been a costly mistake. |
