Description of the problem | My vehicle was hard cranking in the morning. Vehicle will not start using key fob or push button start. Vehicle cranks for 5 to 10 seconds and then shuts down. After replacing the battery (which now i did not need and $245. 00 later) , being stranded numerous times, and taking to multiple mechanics. If vehicle dies all loss of power steering and brakes is lost and is a huge safety concern. My vehicle has 40k+ miles. I have researched and determined that there a hundreds if not thousands of jeep owners who are experiencing the same problem. Since my car is out of warranty dealership tells me that it is on me to pay for the parts and labor to fix. Unacceptable. With this being such a widespread problem a recall should be issued and consumers not be forced to pay for a part that is clearly failing nationwide. Recall needs to happen immediately. |
