Consumer Description

WE BOUGHT CAR IN AUG 2013 WITH 26K ON IT. RIGHT AT ABOUT 30K I STARTED TO HEAR A THUMPING SOUND IN THE FRONT END. TURNS OUT THE BALL JOINTS AND LOWER CONTROL ARM ASSEMBLY NEEDED REPLACEMENT. JUST HIT 40K AND THE OTHER SIDE WENT. GLAD I BOUGHT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY WHICH I THOUGHT WAS PRICEY AT THE TIME. THIS JEEP IS A BIG DISAPPOINTMENT. NOT LIKE THE JEEP CHEROKEES FROM THE GOOD OLD DAYS WHICH FAMILY MEMBERS FOUND TO BE DEPENDABLE.
