problem #1

Nov 212003

Wrangler 4WD 4-cyl

  • Manual transmission
  • 32,800 miles
I purchase this 2000 Jeep Wrangler from a Toyota dealership and paid the coverage warranty during the time of purchase. When I purchased this vehicle I noticed there was a weilding underneath the axle and told the salesman about it and he said not to worry about it, it won't cause any damage. Four months later the axle broke on a freeway for no reason. We told the Jeep dealership to fix the problem. They didn't even help us with the problem and quoting us 1,000 dollars to get it fixed from a Jeep Wrangler dearlership. This problem was already there when we purchased this vehicle. They should have fixed it before selling it to us. The warrenty we purchased did not cover the damage because it wasn't under warrenty. So, they can not fix the problem and need to tow it to a professional body lifting shop. We towed it there and it cost us $500 to fix the damage that was already there in the beginning when we purchased the vehicle.
