ENGINE
I PURCHASED MY JEEP IN APRIL OF THIS YEAR. THE 1ST WEEK I HAD IT, IT SEEMED TO BE BE LOOSING POWER SO I PUT IT IN THE SHOP TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. THIS WENT ON FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. THE JEEP STOPPED SEVERAL TIMES WHILE I WOULD BE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WITH MY CHILDREN. DESPITE THE MANY ADVANCES OF PUTTING IT IN THE SHOP, THE PROBLEM NEVER SEEMED TO GET FIXED. ABOUT 3 WEEKS AGO, I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY WITH MY 3 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER AND MY BOYFRIEND WHEN IT LOST POWER TO THE POINT IT SHUT OFF AGAIN. THANK GOD WE ALL WERE ABLE TO SAFELY MAKE IT OUT THE JEEP WITHOUT BEIMG INJURED. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE REPAIR SHOP WERE I WAS TOLD MY MOTOR LOCKED UP. WHEN I ASKED THE MECHANIC HOW WAS THAT POSSIBLE HE SAID HE HAD NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS HAPPEN BEFORE. IT HAD OIL AND IT WASN'T RUNNING HOT AT ALL. IT NEVER RAN HOT AT ANY POINT ACTUALLY. WHEN HE CHECKED, HE FOUND THE JEEP DIDN'T HAVE ANY COOLANT BUT COULD NOT GIVE REASON TO WHY THIS HAPPENED. I CONTACTED SEVERAL JEEP DEALERSHIPS THAT TOLD ME THAT NEVER HADN'T NEVER BEEN ANY RECALL ON MY JEEP BUT I FOUND SEVERAL THINGS ON THE INTERNET STATING THAT THE ENGINE AND COOLANT SYSTEM A ON MY VEHICLE HAD BEEN AN ISSUE WITH OTHER JEEP OWNERS SAME YEAR; MAKE AND MODEL OF MY VEHICLE.

I CALLED THE JEEP PLACE FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND THEY DIAGNOISED THE CAR AND DID A RECALL ON THE IGNITION SWITCH AND TOLD ME THE POWERTRAIN TRANSFER CASE IS BAD AND THERMOSTAT LEAKING FROM THE HOUSING AND 4 WHEEL DRIVE FAILED. I HAVE NEVER USED THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE AS I RECENTLY PURCHASED THE CAR AT THE END OF APRIL AND OWN IT FOR JUST 7 MONTHS. THEY SAID IT WILL COST ME OVER $750.00 DOLLARS TO BE FIXED. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY SAID MY VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED HOWEVER ON YOUR WEB SITE NHTSA CAMPAIN# 13V175000 SEEMS TO APPLY TO MY DIAGNOISED PROBLEMS. I LOVE MY CAR BUT THIS IS A DEFECT IN MANUFACTURING AND NOT SOMETHING THAT I HAVE DONE. THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAD THIS CAR CONSTANTLY MAINTAINED AT EXECUTIVE JEEP IN NORTH HAVEN CT. I WANT MY CAR FIXED AT CHRYSLER'S COST NOT MINE. I DRIVE MY CAR WITH MY GRANDCHILDREN IN IT AND NOW FEEL IT IS UNSAFE.. PLEASE HELP ME. I HAVE ALL RECORDS FOR THE CAR AND THE DIAGNOSTIC INFORMATION SHOULD YOU NEED IT. I ALSO HAVE HOWARD THE MANAGER AT JEEP PHONE #.
