DAYTON ANDREWS DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM, INC. SOLD ME A DANGEROUSLY DEFECTIVE VEHICLE AND REFUSE TO ABIDE BY LEMON LAW. ON APRIL 21 2018 I PURCHASED A NEW JEEP COMPASS LATITUDE 4X2 SPORT UTILITY WITH 15 MILES ON ODOMETER. AUGUST 2 I RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP DUE TO ENGINE STALLING, INTERMITTENT ENGINE SHUT OFFS, WARNING LIGHTS, CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS ON, ELECTRICAL FAILURE AND MULTIPLE LOSS OF PANEL COMMUNICATION FAULTS. AUGUST 6, I WAS TOLD TO PICK UP VEHICLE. UPON ARRIVAL LEAD MECHANIC STATED IT'S A LEMON AND THAT I SHOULD GO LEMON LAW. HE COULDN'T FIND THE SOURCE OF THE ISSUE, IT'S A MANUFACTURING DEFECT BUT IT SEEMS TO BE REPAIRED THIS TIME AND HE WILL CONTINUE TRYING TO FIX VEHICLE IF ORDERED BY HIS BOSS. BEFORE I COULD LEAVE THE DEALERSHIP PARKING LOT VEHICLE STALLED AND ELECTRICAL FAILURE WITH MULTIPLE LOSS OF COMMUNICATION OCCURRED, SO THE VEHICLE NEVER LEFT LOT AND REMAINED UNTIL OCTOBER 29TH UNTIL I WAS TOLD IT HAD BEEN REPAIRED AND TO PICK UP. ON OCTOBER 31ST, VEHICLE HAD ELECTRICAL FAILURE AND MULTIPLE LOSS OF COMMUNICATION AND COMPLETE BLACKOUT OF CONTROL PANEL SCREEN. ON NOVEMBER 7 CHRYSLER FORMALLY REFUSED TO BUY BACK THE VEHICLE AND INSTEAD ADDED INSULT TO INJURY OFFERING $3000 TO KEEP THE DEFECTIVE VEHICLE, SHUT UP AND GO AWAY.
