I purchased a 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee from meeker hills auto w215n11251 appleton Ave germantown, WI 53022. The dealers safety checklist indicated that all was checked and found to be safe. At the time of sale, the salesman "chad" stated to myself and my relative that if anything was wrong with the vehicle that I should contact them immediately. 2 days after purchasing the vehicle I called to alert them of some problems, I immediately took the vehicle back. I took the vehicle back on 4 occasions only to be told that nothing is wrong with the vehicle, finally I took the vehicle to milwaukee area technical college (matc) and had the instructor to look at the vehicle, and was told that there lots of repairs that need to be done. I contacted the dealership and was told by the owner that I can trade the vehicle for another vehicle and pay the difference. They were not willing to repair anything. I had the repairs done at matc at a cost of $750. 00 parts only. I want to file a complaint. Please let me know what I must do further. Thanks.
