The contact owns a 2008 Jeep Commander. The contact stated while driving in a parking lot, she was informed that there was a metal part hanging underneath the rear subframe of the vehicle. The contact drove to her residence, where she noticed the failure. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the gas tank support had detached and needed to be replaced; however, the part was not available. An unknown dealer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the part was not available. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 160,000.
Jeep would not start. Starter continued to turn check engine light illuminated. Was able to get engine started once but starter didn't disengage. Had vehicle towed to dealership. Dealership was unable to investigate it for four days (thurs. - Sunday) when I called on Monday afternoon they could not locate my vehicle in the computer. I contacted the service manager. Half an hour later they told me my Jeep needs a new fuel pump and would be ready tomorrow afternoon. They couldn't find it earlier because the technician did not enter the vehicle in the computer under my name. The Jeep is 2 months old with only 1600 miles on it. I only got a rental car for my troubles because I purchased an extended warranty. Normal warranty makes no provisions for a loaner vehicle. This is not the 5 star service I have come to expect. A brand new vehicle that doesn't start should receive priority status. If I had known it would take desert Dodge 4 days to look at my vehicle I would have had it towed to the other 5 star dealer in las vegas or waited for an appointment as I still have to pay tax on the rental car and my warranty is only for 5 days.
