NHTSA Complaint #10218043 — 2003 JEEP LIBERTY

DETAILS: DRIVING HOME ON A VERY COLD NIGHT; HAD CAR RUNNING ABOUT 15 MIN BEFORE GETTING ON THE ROADWAY. WHILE DRIVING AT 40 MPH, MY ENGINE DIED. NO WARNING LIGHT OF ANY KIND CAME ON. TOTAL LOCK UP OF GAS/BREAK AND ENGINE SHUT OFF. COASTED TO SHOULDER. JEEP WOULD NOT RESTART. CALLED A TOWING COMPANY AND HAD IT TOWED HOME, AND THEN TO JEEP DEALERSHIP NEXT DAY. THEY REQUESTED OIL CHANGE RECEIPTS WHICH I AM TRACKING DOWN FROM VARIOUS OIL CHANGE LOCATIONS AND GAVE ME NO ANSWER TO WHAT THE ACTUAL PROBLEM WAS WHEN I PERIODICALLY CALLED TO CHECK IN. DO I HAVE ANY RIGHTS HERE? 7/70,000 FULL WARRANTY AND ALL THEY ARE TELLING ME IS I NEED RECEIPTS. I AM AFRAID THEY WILL DENY CLAIM ANYWAY, AS SEVERAL OTHER POSTINGS INDICATE ENGINE ISSUES AND DENIAL. QUOTE TO FIX OUT OF POCKET IS $9,700 WHICH IS HIGH AND RIDICULOUS CONSIDERING NO ONE WILL TELL ME THE ACTUAL PROBLEM WITH THE CAR. AN ENTIRE ENGINE LONG BLOCK BLOCK IS $2,600 RETAIL. NO REPLY TO QUESTIONS ON REBUILD. FURTHERMORE THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME A DAILY STORAGE FEE BECAUSE THE CAR HAS BEEN THERE 3 DAYS (ONE DAY SINCE THEY GOT BACK TO ME!!!) I FEEL THIS MIGHT BE A PLOY TO GET ME TO DITCH FIXING AND FORCE ME TO BUY A NEW JEEP. I CAN'T GET ANY ANSWERS!!! *TR
