problem #1

Sep 122020

Renegade Limited

  • Automatic transmission
  • 39,620 miles

The battery was tested in July of 2020 so the battery light should not have come on. Fortunately I drove it straight to the dealership which I'm glad I did. As soon as I arrived, I smelled what smelled like a cross between oil burning and wires burning.

They put me in a rental car and checked it out. They said the alternator was not hooked up properly. This was the last straw and I have totally lost my confidence in Jeep.
