Why I will never go back to the dealership again
So this is my story of the dealership from hell. I had an oil leak on
the power steering pump, the jeep was vibrating bad at 100KM and the
check engine light was on. Most of the stuff was covered and they
replaced some sensors. So my jeep is ready, I pick it up after work
and there is no power steering, It is really stiff and the vibration
is still there. I take it back the next day where the guy admits that
they did not look at the vibration problem ( Maybe you should have
told me). As for the steering they will adjust it. I asked why they
did not adjust it when they installed it ( no reply ). I get the phone
call around 4pm from the dealership telling me that they were test
driving it and had an accident with it. No damage to the jeep they
said since it has warn bumpers and they hit from the front. They say
the vibration is caused by the front drive shaft and it will be
covered. Next day I go to pick it up and the steering is completely
screwed. The steering wheel is around 45 degrees off and the jeep is
pulling hard to one side. I take it back the next day, I am about to
explode at this stage and ask the guy to get in my jeep and drive it
and tell me if it is normal ( no reply ). They do a wheel alignment
to fix the problem. I go pick it up. I am driving it home and here
this clunking sound. I take a look underneath and the skid plate (
mopar that covers the oil pan and front end ) bracket is hitting the
front drive shaft. I pull on the bracket and it moves! They had
taken it off to replace the drive shaft but did not bother to tighten
the bolts that hold the skid plate on and the 2 bolts at the end of
the plate were not there.
Gee I wonder if anyone is scratching their heads wonder why no one
goes back to get their jeep serviced at the stealership and why people
are buying imports.

Re: Why I will never go back to the dealership again
Wicked eh.
I don't know how long fools think they can stay in business operating
like that. Then they wonder why they never see the customer after the
warranty runs out... LOL!
You had better check who's record that accident gets reported under.
Your plates are on it! That happened to me once, someone else had an
accident with my plates and it went on my record. That can affect the
insurance coverage at renewal time...

I don't know how long fools think they can stay in business operating
like that. Then they wonder why they never see the customer after the
warranty runs out... LOL!
You had better check who's record that accident gets reported under.
Your plates are on it! That happened to me once, someone else had an
accident with my plates and it went on my record. That can affect the
insurance coverage at renewal time...

....and the imports service is just as bad! More than anything else, the
problem is the flat rate system techs must work under more than anythiung
else. They are paid a fixed time rate for any repair, and often there isn;t
a published time for what they do. They are not piad for quality, they're
paid for speed, and this is what you get. Blame the manufacturers for this
mess, they won;t fix it and all of them are guilty. Thios is why the good
master techs eventually either move to the independent shops, or quit the
business altogether. Sad, really crummy state of affairs
