problem #1

Dec 252015

Patriot Limited Crd 2.0L Crd

  • Manual transmission
  • 65,244 miles

I bought my JEEP PATRIOT on MAY 2010 brand new. The engine of the car is a CRD 2.0L DIESEL 4 CYL.(ITS V/W ENGINE) with MANUAL TRANSM.on SPEEDOMETER 105000 KM. Am very typical with services of the car and always taking the car to dealers garage. I never drive the car off road and maybe I drive the car only 10 times while raining. Sounds crazy but I take care of the car so much because it was the first time that I bought a new car.

While I was driving the car on 25 DEC 2015 the oil indicator switched ON in my speedometer and I heard a strange noise from the engine. I stop the car immediately and I call rescue and they drive my car in garage. Well...it was my present from SANTA CLAUS... the sound was from the bottom of my engine and actually from the 4th piston. Also I got a problem with my TURBO, a problem with my STARTER and a problem with my FLYWHEEL...and now the nice part: the dealer garage wanted to fix my car with brand new parts around 8000EURO ...WTF....Finally I fixed the car the with a used engine from a crashed car, reconditioning my TURBO and buying again used STARTER and FLYWHEEL with 4000EURO...

It was very stressed from me and painful and make me angry too much. I was without car for about 1.5 month....The dealer cover nothing from my damage cause there was no warranty they say, so..... MY DECISION IS TO SELL THIS STUPID CAR....THANKS TO DEALER AND MANY THANKS TO JEEP THAT THEY SELL THESE NICE CARS ......
