Equipment problem #1

Engine light came on 3 months ago, took to dealer said it was nothing. I asked why did it come on they said it's just computers some times they have to be reset. Engine felt like it was going to die. Engine light came on Monday took to same dealer. They said I had cylinder misfire in the 6th cylinder and had to replace it. After searching on the internet I see this is a problem with Jeep Cherokee 2012. Why is this not on a recall?.

Carrier/rack problem #2

I was washing my car in my driveway while I was washing my car everything was fine. As I started to dry all of a sudden there was a large crack on my windshield starting from rear view mirror. I know I was leaning on the top of my car to wash and dry but I know I'm not large enough or strong enough to make this crack. I never leaned on the windshield ever. After reading other people's concerns with this situation I could have leaned on the car and added more pressure to an already pressure point to the vehicle. I called the dealer and spoke with a manager and he just said perhaps a rock I mentioned I would go over and show him. I took it to the dealer and they found no chip or anything that may have been the cause. I was told they would talk about it and let me know. I want to know one dealer had 75 windshield on back order. Perhaps this was a manufacturer defect and they are trying to sweep it under the carpet. Thank you for your time. Rick.
