| Description of the problem | Tl*the contact owns a 2007 jeep wrangler. The contact drove into a mud puddle and then across a grass field. Three days later, he took the vehicle to the car wash and the check engine light illuminated. He took the vehicle to the dealer and they found a failure at the brake purge tank, which ripped and caused the brake line to pull down. The dealer informed the manufacturer that the cause of the failure was due to reckless driving. Therefore, the manufacturer stated that the warranty does not cover aggressive driving, only defected parts. The contact feels that his vehicle was designed to be driven on rough terrain; therefore, the brake purge tank is defective. The current and failure mileages were 10,000. |
