| Description of the problem | I bought a used 2008 4 door jeep wrangler just over 2 months ago. In this time i have noticed every time we fill up with gas, no matter what gas station we use, gas spills everywhere. Also, the battery was completely drained after a month of having the jeep. We had it towed to the dealership where they ran a diagnostic and said it was the battery. We had to pay the for the test and then we replaced the battery ourselves, a couple days later the jeep would not start again! I put the jeep in neutral and it started right up. So now at least once a day i have to put the jeep in neutral to start it. My main concern is that it is eventually going to drain my battery again and i am going to have to keep replacing batteries. I have done research and both of these are "known" and "common" problems, yet when i contacted jeep they act like they have never heard of it and tell me i need to take it to a dealership and pay to have them run more diagnostic tests on it! Nothing has been done about it. *kb |
