2004 JGC 4wd NOT for dirt, per dealer
 

What is going on with Chrysler selling Jeeps?

I own a 2004 4wd Jeep Grand Cherokee, Limited Edition.

Last night my engine warning light came on (47,056 mi.). I took the Jeep
into my dealer, Don-A-Vee, Placentia, CA
to have it repaired. The problem was a faulty Evaporative Pump and the
repairs are covered by California Emissions
Warranty. However, the charcoal canister is not and will cost $316 to
replace.

I was warned that the reason for the failure and need to replace the
canister was caused by mud collecting in the
wheel well area. This is where Jeep placed the units. Pray tell, why design
a vehicle for off-road use and place
a critical item in the way? BTW, my "off-road" driving is in the High Desert
of California, on SB Co. roads. No
boon dogging, or such, just driving to and from my home.

I have found this series of Jeep to be a high maintenance item, from routine
service to parts. I warn anyone
wanting a JGC, to check out the running costs vs. other manufacturers. I
just bought my wife a 2005 4wd Hyundai
Tucson and maintenance costs are extremely lower.

Don't tell us, tell DaimlerChrysler. Don't you have the bumper to
bumper seven year, seventy thousand mile warrantee?

Thanks a lot! Where were you when I bought the car?

The salesman did not disclose the bumper to bumper warrantee. We bought the
one he mentioned, which is a lessor extended warrantee. Let the buyer
beware!

BTW, I'm telling this group so no one will get stuck with another dependent.

BTW, how can God Bless America when we have so many traitors in our
Congress?
(God Bless You!)

The bumper to bumper, seven year, seventy thousand mile warrantee
comes with the car when you buy it and is fully transferable to
new owners. Anything that you buy from Chrysler should be on top
of that warrantee (like, say, extending it to ten years and one
hundred thousand miles or somesuch).
