LETTER RE THE PROBLEMS EXPERIENCED WITH A 2010 JEEP WRANGLER FEELS THAT VEHICLE FALLS UNDER THE NEW CAR LEMON LAW (ENTIRE PACKAGE NOT IMAGED, FORWARDED TO NVS-200) *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED THERE HAVE BEEN REPEATED ATTEMPTS TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE REMAINS DEFECTIVE. THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WAS RUNNING SLUGGISH AND BURNING OIL, BUT NO LEAKS WERE FOUND. THE PROBLEM WENT ON FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. THE CONSUMER BELIEVED THE ENGINE WAS DEFECTIVE, BUT THE DEALER WOULD NOT APPROVE A NEW ENGINE, SO THEY KEPT REPLACING PARTS. THE VEHICLE WAS EVENTUALLY RETURNED TO THE CONSUMER, WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THE DEALER CHECKED THE ENGINE AGAIN, AND DISCOVERED IT WAS BURNING 1 QUART OF OIL PER HOUR AND IT WAS DETERMINED THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE HARD TOP WAS LEAKING AND RUINED THE CARPET. THE STARTER WAS DEFECTIVE. ALSO THE TRANSMISSION WAS EXHIBITING A BURNING SMELL, IT WOULD SLIP AND WOULDN'T GO INTO GEAR AND THE FLUID WAS NO LONGER THE CORRECT COLOR. ALSO, THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE ROSE JUST UNDER THE OVERHEATING POINT. THE RADIATOR COOLING FAN WAS DEFECTIVE. ALSO, THERE WAS A GRINDING NOISE COMING FROM THE TRANSFER CASE. *JB
