| Description of the problem | I purchased a brand new jeep wrangler about two and a half years ago. About two months ago the car would randomly stop starting. I have taken it to my local jeep dealer four times for this problem and they have not fixed it. The dealer claims that they cannot fix the problem because they do not know what's wrong with the car. I have notified jeep's corporate office and they claim that the car has been fixed even though its starting problem had persisted. To make matters worse i was driving the jeep a few weeks ago and then all the car's alarms went off, then dashboard failed, the windshield washers turned on and then the car's transmission began to kick within about five seconds. I took it back to my dealer and they claimed that the problem was caused by a defective radio. I personally have no idea if this problem was caused by the original starting problem. I also am concerned that there may be more problems with my car in the future. |
