Description of the problem | My 2001 jeep grand cherokee has a defect on cylinder# 2 apparently there was no recall even though it is a defect. My lights would flicker in drive sitting at a red light, still does, and now the engine is starting to run rough, after more and more research come to find out this is an issue with these jeeps never a recall but there was an extended warranty that was put out by chrysler 10 yrs or 150,000 miles. Just found this out a couple of days ago, i have 152,000, so they would not honor their warranty. I have documentation that cylinder 2 was an issue in 2017 i have documentation where my car was diagnosed when it had 95,000 miles at the time it was wasn't a dealership so they wouldn't accept it. Its going to cost me around $4,000-$6,000 to get it fixed, not sure why it has to be dealership documentation , i feel that chrysler has been hiding this from consumers to save money and let the consumer take the fall for a defect that they were aware of. Why cant this be recalled? Regardless of miles, very disgruntled with chrysler for putting out products that have issues, i have taken my jeep to every recall it has had and its been about 5 of them. I love the jeep but the mechanical and electrical of jeep has many issues would not recommend to anyone. How many people have to have these issues in order for it to be recalled? |
