Ever since my issue with the headlights and foglights turning on/off began, I have a constant relay clicking noise to the left side of my steering wheel and my idling rpm's dropped.
While driving my Jeep Liberty on the freeway I suddenly heard a loud clanking noise. At about the same time I realized my engine was dead and I coasted off of the freeway. My Jeep would not restart and I had to have assistance to push it to a gas station. I called a towing company and had it towed to a Jeep dealership where I was treated very rudely and horribly over a 3 to 4 week period where they requested numerous oil change receipts and berated me over the phone each time I called to check the progress of my vehicle. After providing them with my maintenance records Chrysler still had the audacity to turn down the claim. I have changed the oil every 3 thousand miles with receipts to prove it. They are accusing me faulty maintenance and refuse to fix the vehicle. My vehicle has 41,000 miles on it and I have a 70,000 mile warranty. According to Chrysler they are not responsible for it. How do they get away with this?.
Since purchasing in sept 02 have had vehicle in for service six times for numerous concerns, repeatedly for a clunking/grinding sound from the psgr sd ft, a severe pulling of the vehicle to the right, a vibration when driving hwy speeds, and intermittent engine misses. Dealership twice replaced the front end strut mounts which elimated the grind/clunk, but cannot ascertain the problem with the vehicle's instability (pulling) on the road nor with the engine misfires. An adjustment (off spec) to the alignment was performed by dealership which in turn caused the vehicle to pull to the left and also encouraged more steering vibration and worsened mpg - avg 13. 21 mpg where initially I got 18 -20 mpg. Dealership claims that b/c roads are angled for water runoff, this likewise keeps my vehicle from staying on the road (!?) am currently beginning to experience a clunking noise from rear passenger side wheel area, but have not yet brought it to dealer's attention.
