| Description of the problem | I purchased a new 2004 jeep wrangler sport on sept 30,2004. On oct 1, 2004 i discovered defective paint on the left front fender near the engine compartment(appears to be a chemical contaminant as well as grazing of the base coat), dent on the underside of the right hand passenger door, welding splatters on the right front fender, dents on the inside of the right front fender, right front fender is warped. All body damage appears to have been pre-delivery. Dealer service personnel told me to ignore the paint damage. I dont understand how the vehicle left the factory in this condition. Iam disgusted and depressed after spending $26,000 dollars on this jeep. Iam a u. S. Navy veteran, aviation structural mechanic. *ak |
