#701458December 18, 1998
PARKING BRAKE:CONVENTIONAL:MECHANICAL
PARKING BRAKE NOT FIXED YET TOOK TO A MECHANIC AND THEY ADJUSTED AND IT STILL RELEASES ITSELF SOMETIMES. OUT OF THE SIX COMPLAINTS I HAVE LISTED I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THE REPAIRS WILL BE COVERED EVEN THOUGH I BOUGHT MY CAR OFF OF AN INDEPENDENT CAR DEALER WITH NO WARRANTY. I BOUGHT THE JEEP "AS IS" AND I HAD READ IN HAYNES AUTOMOTIVE REPAIR MANUAL THAT BECAUSE OF A FEDERALLY MANDATED EXTENDED WARRANTY WHICH COVERS EMISSIONS-RELATED COMPONENTS SUCH AS THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER, CHECK WITH A DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT BEFORE REPLACING THE CONVERTER AT YOUR OWN EXPENSE. I BELIEVE MY CATALYTIC CONVERTER IS BAD WOULD I BE ABLE TO HAVE THE LOCAL DEALER REPLACE THAT PART AT NO EXPENSE TO ME EVEN THOUGH I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE OFF OF AN INDEPENDENT DEALER AT 142425 ON THE ODOMETER AND IT BEING A 90 MODEL. I HAVE NOTICED A LOT OF THE SAME PROBLEMS ON YOUR COMPLAINT DATABASE THAT I AM HAVING. WILL I BE ABLE TO GET THESE RESOLVED AT NO EXPENSE TO ME? PLEASE RESPOND OR COMMENT YOUR SUGGESTIONS WILL BE HIGHLY APPRECIATED. IF I DO END UP PAYING FOR THESE REPAIRS AND THEIR IS A RECALL OR SOMETHING WILL I BE ABLE TO BE REIMBURSED FOR THE REPAIRS THAT I PAY FOR?
