1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Consumer writes in regards to recall notices #13v-252 and #02v-053. The consumer stated when the part finally arrived, one business said the boat trailed hitch was not suffice, and the Jeep dealer stated the part did not need to be replaced.
I don't know the date of when Chrysler had the recall on the fuel system. They were going to put on an (oem) trailer hitch where appropriate, free of charge. The parts required were currently not available. I bought a trailer hitch and had it installed. I then took it to jeff wyler Jeep in fort thomas ky. They inspected it and passed it. (perform recall n45) I called your customer service and asked if I would be paid back for the part, they said no because it was not an (oem) part. Please make this right, I have now taken off the part I bought, and asking you to either pay me for the part, which was $316. 00 with labor, or set up a date and time to a dealer to put the right part on. That is all I am asking for, I have waited so long for this,and every day I worry about it being so dangerous. I don't think I am asking to much. I just want it fixed right, and the right part on. I thank you for looking into this matter. Hope to talk to you soon.

Was driving at relatively low highway speed (50mph) up a small incline. Low rpm (1200rpm). With sharp highway curve coming up, vehicle stalled for no reason. Steering became unresponsive. Turned key off and on several times trying to turn steering to follow curve. Luckily Sunday night traffic was light or could have resulted in accident. Engine finally started up and steering pressure was restored. Kept rpm over 2500rpm for a couple of minutes and car bucked a number of times in the first 5 or so minutes. Ran smoothly afterwards with engine rpm kept higher (2500+). Had to get off the highway and follow side streets to get home. This problem has been occurring for 3000-4000 miles and I've had nearly everything replaced, coil, spark plugs, plug wires, distributor rotor, distributor cap, starting on sensors now.

I purchased this 1997, Jeep Grand Cherokee from broadway Volkswagen on auto row in oakland CA. At the time the odometer read 48,080k. Two weeks ago the car stopped running while I was driving it. I had to have it towed to albera bros. Jeep/Chrysler dealership where I?ve taken the vehicle since I purchased it. I also purchased a warranty, for $1500 at the time that I purchase the vehicle, which was contained in the contract of the automobile installment payments. The warranty was to cover all repair that is cover for 72 months or 100k miles. I contacted the warranty company, warentech, who's headquarters are in texas and was advised that they would have to send someone out to look at the car. Someone did come out look at the car and took pictures. After a few days I contacted warentech and was advised that they would have to review the information and would get back to me. After several more days I contacted warentech again. I was advised that they needed me fax them my maintenance records verifying that I had maintained the vehicle. I faxed warentech copies of all recent maintenance records. After two or three more days, I once again contacted warentech and was advised that I needed to send more maintenance records and if I didn't have anymore they would deny coverage for repair to the vehicle. I faxed over a total of 13 more records of maintenance verifying that oil changes as well as other maintenance records. That was two days ago and I?ve not heard anything from warentech since. I have already paid $125 dollars to have the car towed to the dealership and have paid another $140 for a rental car to get to and from work. I am very afraid that warentech is going to refuse to pay for the repairs they've already had almost 2-weeks and nothing has been done. I pay $546 a month car not via payroll deduction and have never missed a payment this for two years and I still owe over$18k for the car. I don't know what to do.
