I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE ENGINE AND DRIVE TO THE UNOCAL STATION, GET GASOLINE AND I CALLED THE LONG BEACH CHRYSLER JEEP, THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THE SOLENOID PACK WAS REPLACED THE WEEK BEFORE. I WAS TOLD TO GET MY VEHICLE TO THE CLOSEST DEALERSHIP. I DELIVERED THE VEHICLE TO SOUTH BAY CHRYSLER & JEEP ABOUT 4:00 P.M. ON 8/8/03. THEY TEST DROVE THE VEHICLE, PERFORMED SOME DIAGNOSTIC TESTS, HOWEVER, COULD NOT EXPLAIN THE PROPBLEM AND RETURNED MY VEHICLE TO ME.

VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD, WHEELS:HUB, STRUCTURE:BODY, SUSPENSION:FRONT
WITHIN A YEAR AND A HALF, I HAD THREE WINDSHIELD REPLACEMENTS. INSURANCE AGENT SAID WITH THAT MANY REPLACEMENTS, COULD BE DEFECT. EVERY TIME JEEP HIT BUMP, WOULD SQUEAK. TOOK TWO DEALERSHIPS 5 ATTEMPTS TO FIX. PAINT WAS PEELING ON GRILL, HAD REPAINTED. JEEP CONSTANTLY PULLS TO THE RIGHT. HAVE HAD ALIGNMENT AND TIRE ROTATIONS, STILL NOT FIXED. LATEST, ALL FOUR ALUMINUM WHEELS ARE CORRODING DUE TO THEM BEING MANUFACTURED WITH ALUMINUM AND STEEL. ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP, THE RIMS HAVE BEEN REDESIGNED, BUT BECAUSE MY MILEAGE IS OVER 36, 000 MILES, THEY ARE CHARGING TO REPLACE THEM EVEN THOUGH A DEALER AT THE SAME DEALERSHIP WAS HAVING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM AND HAD HIS REPLACED AT NO COST. FIELD DISTRICT MANAGER REFUSES TO SPEAK TO ME, WHO MADE THE DECISION FOR ME TO PAY. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE GUIDE ME IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. I NEED HELP. [email protected]. *JB
