I RECENTLY BROUGHT MY 2010 JEEP PATRIOT IN FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE. MY MECHANIC INFORMED ME THAT MY REAR SUB FRAME HAS ROTTED AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED ASAP. AT THIS VISIT, HE CLEANED AND OILED IT AND ALSO ADVISED ME TO TAKE CARE OF THIS ASAP.

MY DAUGHTER'S JEEP HAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY DUE TO THE RUST AND HOLES IN THE JEEP'S CROSSMEMBERS. THE GAVE ME AS REFERENCE X58. SHE NEEDS THEM REPLACED AS THERE ARE LARGE HOLES IN THEM, BUT THE DEALERSHIP TOLD HER IF THEY COULDN'T GET IT OFF THEY WOULD HAVE TO CUT OTHER PARTS AND SHE WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COST OF THE PARTS AND LABOR (APPROXIMATELY $400) WHICH THE DEALERSHIP SAID IS TYPICAL. I'VE BEEN IN TOUCH WITH CUSTOMER SERVICE AT JEEP AND THEY SAID SHE WOULD FIRST HAVE TO HAVE THE WORK DONE AND THEN IF THERE WAS A CHARGE THEY WOULD "CONSIDER" HELPING. SO SHE WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR FIRST. THIS HARDLY SEEMS RIGHT. IS THERE ANY RECOURSE?

RECALL ISSUED BY CHRYSLER IN SEPTEMBER 2016 INVOLVING DEFECTIVE AIR BAGS AND FRONT SEATBELT PRETENSIONERS. IT IS NOW FEBRUARY 2017 AND CHRYSLER STILL HAS NOT FIXED THIS SAFETY ISSUE IN A REASONABLE TIME FRAME. ESSENTIALLY, I'M DRIVING IN A CAR WHERE I COULD BE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED, DUE TO CHRYSLER'S NEGLIGENCE IN RESOLVING THIS RECALL PROPERLY.

SUNROOF LEAKS WHEN IT RAINS. I'VE HAD IT IN FOR REPAIR AT LEAST 4 TIMES. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE USED AND WE WERE IN A DROUGHT, SO IT TOOK ABOUT A YEAR BEFORE WE HAD SIGNIFICANT RAIN. WHEN IT RAINS A MODERATE AMOUNT, WATER POURS OUT OF THE OVERHEAD LIGHTS AND SIDE PANELS AND SOAKS THE FLOOR BOARDS AND FRONT CONSOLE. THE MECHANICS HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE ISSUE BY RUNNING WATER ON THE SUNROOF AND/OR RUNNING THE VEHICLE THROUGH THE CARWASH, SO THEY'VE BEEN UNABLE TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO FIX IT. A QUICK INTERNET SEARCH REVEALS THAT THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM THAT JEEP WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE. I ALREADY HAVE SIGNIFICANT WATER STAINS ON THE INTERIOR ROOF OF THE CAR, AND IT'S JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE IT SHORTS OUT THE ELECTRONICS. STEP UP AND FIX THE KNOWN DEFECT, JEEP!!
