| Description of the problem | I purchased a brand new 2014 jeep patriot latitude from marshall dodge in crittenden (which should be shut down for horrible customer service after purchasing!) was a great car for the first little bit. I can no longer depend on this vehicle on the interstate. At interstate speed (65-70 mph) the car will begin to make a squeal noise and within five minutes i am playing leap frog to get to the emergency lane at max speed of (20 mph) and the vehicle is very jerky. When it does this all fluids in the car are fine, give it about 20 minutes and the car will act normal, but i cannot trust it to get back on the interstate. This has been going on for two years. I've taken it back to the dealership that i purchased it from and their useless extended warranty and nothing gets done! I have continually been told they cannot find any signs via computer it has done anything like this or after keeping it for two weeks driving it and looking it over it has no reason to. It is beginning to happen more frequently and am frustrated i can trust my original vehicle (thankfully i didn't trade it in to that crooked dealership) that has almost 200,000 miles on it, a 2004 scion tc, more than a vehicle i bought brand new that started becoming unreliable with 36,000 miles on it. I feel like i bought a lemon and the dealership doesn't want to fix it. This vehicle cannot be trusted to get to a to b and i feel like i am getting screwed by my jeep dealership and jeep. There should be a recall on this, the more i research the more common it is; or jeep should have to make these vehicles right, because they are extremely dangerous and could cause a major accident on the interstate! If it is never made right you can bet i will never own another jeep product and i will be sure let my family and friends know just how dangerous they are! |
