problem #1

Wrangler Sport 3.2L V6

  • Automatic transmission

A D V E R T I S E M E N T S

I purchased a new vehicle and make payments on a new vehicle just to find out that the manufacturer had a problem with the factory in Mexico and it made over 600 vehicles with garbage in the head, so all the vin numbers built in a two week period in that plant have to have the left head removed and replaced. I am pissed that i have to have a dealership strip my engine down and replace the head and then put it back together correctly. most of the techs at dealerships are kids. how do I know that they didn't go out and smoke a joint before they take my jeep apart, how do I know if they aren't on drugs. or have the experience to strip a vehicle down and rebuild it. then I find out that the dealerships were aware of the problem and they even had vin numbers but they still left the effected vehicles on the lot to be sold and I bought one the next month after the manufacturer informed all the dealerships. What am I suppose to do? I have to let them tear apart my jeep and trust they will put it together properly. I am not comfortable with that. don't buy a jeep
