Consumer Description

I BOUGHT A NEW 2005 JEEP CHEROKEE AND BEGAN HAVING PROBLEMS ONE YEAR AFTER I BOUGHT IT. I HAD MULTIPLE PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR NOT STARTING , BUT ITWAS NOT THE BATTERY. TOOK IT TO THE GALEANA DEALERSHIP TO GET IT FIXED 5 TIMES AND THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM, AND EVENTUALLY TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO EVEN THOUGH THEY KNEW THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTED BECAUSE I VIDEOTAPED SEVERAL OF THE OCCURRENCES. THE VEHICLE LEFT ME STRANDED EVERYWHERE. THEN, THE TRANSMISSION FAILED , AND THE CAR ALMOST CAUGHT ON FIRE WITH ME AND MY TWO CHILDREN IN IT. WE HAD TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION AT 22,000 MILES. *AK
