ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, TIRES:PRESSURE MONITORING AND REGULATING SYSTEMS
MY CLIENT, PABLO E. COELHO, BOUGHT A JEEP LIBERTY SPORT 4X4 IN ARGENTINA FOR THE SUM OF USD 40,000 AND HAD SEVERAL PROBLEMS. FINALLY THE SELLER CHANGE IT FOR A NEW JEEP LAST YEAR. WITH THE NEW JEEP WE ARE EXPERIENCING MORE PROBLEMS THAN WITH THE FIRST ONE AND THERE ARE MORE THAN THREE RECALLS INCOMPLETE AND THE SELLER IS NOT GIVING US ANY NOTICE OF THEM NEITHER ANY SOLUTIONS TO ALL THESE PROBLEMS. THE LAST RECALL IS DESCRIBED AS A SAFETY RECALL AND IT IS STATING THAT THE BLOWER MOTOR MAY OVERHEAT AND CAUSE AN INTERIOR FIRE. THIS JEEP IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AND I DO NOT WANT TO HAVE MY CLIENT NOR ANY THIRD PARTY INJURED. I WILL REALLY APPRECIATE IF YOU CAN HELP ME TO HAVE THIS SOLVED ASAP.
