Bastrop, TX
FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
HELLO, I PURCHASED A USED JEEP IN MAY 2018. ONCE I TOOK POSSESSION OF THE JEEP, MY MECHANIC MENTIONED THERE WAS AN OPEN RECALL. SO, I CALLED THE LOCAL DEALER ABOUT REPAIRING THE RECALL DEFECT. I WAS TOLD THEY COULDN'T HELP ME BECAUSE THE JEEP WAS TO OLD AND THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE PARTS ON HAND. THEY TOLD ME TO CALL THE JEEP RECALL CENTER, WHICH I DID... AND AND THEY TOO TOLD ME THE SAME THING... TOO OLD AND NO PARTS ON HAND. THEY ALSO TOLD ME TO CALL AUTO PARTS STORES TO SEE IF THEY HAD THE PARTS AND MAYBE THEY WOULD REIMBURSE ME AND MAYBE NOT. SEEMS TO ME, THEY'RE MAKING ME DO THEIR JOB AND NOT ATTEMPTING TO TAKING CARE OF AN OPEN RECALL. AND PLEASE NOTE: THE FUEL TANK IS LEAKING.

WHEN THE DEFROST STEAMS THE WINDOWS THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF WATER/MOISTURE THAT ENTERS THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. CREATES A VISIBILITY HAZARD, FOGS ALL WINDOWS. WATER ALSO DRAINS ONTO FLOORBOARDS. PARKING BRAKE DISENGAGING IS VERY INTERMITTENT. NEVER CAN TELL IF IT WILL HOLD. RELYING SOLELY ON REVERSE GEAR FOR HOLDING VEHICLE. HAVE RAN OUT OF GAS TWICE WITH FUEL GAUGE PROBLEM. GOES ALL THE WAY UP WHEN FILLED, BUT WILL NOT GO BELOW 1/4 OF A TANK. CONSISTENT PROBLEM. SHIFTING INTO FIRST OFTEN REQUIRES FIRST SHIFTING INTO FIFTH THEN BACK TO 1ST IN ORDER TO ENGAGE. OH, FORGOT TO MENTION, PASSENGER SIDE DOOR WILL NOT UNLOCK, INTERMITTENT ALSO.
