NHTSA Complaint #10237230 — 2005 JEEP LIBERTY

THIS IS FOR A 2005 JEEP LIBERTY. FAULTY SPEEDOMETER. WAS REPLACED 2 TIMES WITHIN 2 YEARS. CHRYSLER TSB INDICATES REPLACEMENT OF THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL FLUID EVERY YEAR TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH ENGINEERING IF YOU HAVE TO DO THIS. THEY WILL REPLACE THE SPEEDOMETER FOR ~ $210.00 OR CHANGE THE FLUID FOR $199.00 EVERY YEAR. CONSUMERS ARE BEING HELD HOSTAGE FOR THIS ANNUAL CHARGE FOR THE FLUID CHANGE AS I HAVE HAD MY SPEEDOMETER CHANGED 2 TIMES ALREADY. THE MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE SAYS NOTHING ABOUT THIS IN SCHEDULE A. HOWEVER THE DEALER REFERS TO SCHEDULE B AS WHAT THEY RECOMMEND DUE TO THIS ISSUE. HOWEVER, THE BOOK SITES AN EXCLUSION IN SCHEDULE B IF YOUR VEHICLE IS USED COMMERCIALLY, HEAVY HAULING, SNOW PLOWING, OF ROAD USE, ETC. I HAVE AS OF 08/06/2008 42,722 MILES ON THIS, AND DO TO PRESCRIBE TO THE ABOVE EXCLUSION. *TR
