| Description of the problem | My car was manufactured wrong... My engine block is casting sand into my coolant system which then blows out my heater core and radiator. I have spent 5 months under warrenty trying to fix with issue but the jeep dealer and chrysler give me the run around. I was trying to get this fix under warrenty but all the run around i got from the dealers has caused my warranty to expire with no fix. I think i have bought a lamon of a car i only have 14k miles , my issue started at 7k miles. Now it is winter time and in driving my car with no heat. I have a new born baby on the way who will get sick inside my car. Jeep does not want to cover the cost of my repairs to replace the heater core and radiator also a complete flush of this sand coming from the engine. This is a hazard for me and my baby to drive around in this cold vehicle . This is a known problem but jeepchrysler is trying their best to keep this quiet. Ill be trying to contact a lawyer soon or maybe a news station. |
