Consumer Description

1-20-2020 PURCHASED A NEW JEEP CHEROKEE LATITUDE, WE PURCHASED THE CAR WITH 4 WHEEL DRIVE AND ALL TERRAIN TIRES FOR OUR NEEDS, GRAVEL, MUD, SNOW, FLOODING ETC.IN OR ABOUT 12-1-2020 WE RECEIVED AN RECALL W43, WE THOUGHT IT HAD TO DO WITH THE BUMPER BEING MELTED BY THE EXHAUST. THE RECALL STATED TIRE RUB AND EXHAUST TIPS. WELL NEEDLESS TO SAY THEY PERFORMED THE RECALL, WHICH I WAS SUSPECT OF BECAUSE I THINK THEY ARE TRYING TO HIDE A DEFECT IN MANUFACTURING OF THE VEHICLE. WELL ANYWAY THEY REPAIRED THE VEHILCE TO THERE LIKING, THEY REPLACED THE EXHAUST, AND REPLACED ALL FOUR TIRES WITH 18" RIMS AND STREET TIRES. AND THEY DID NOT REPLACE THE SPARE TIRE. I BELIEVE THIS WAS DONE TO ALLEVIATE ANY DEFECT THAT THE ALL TERRAIN TIRES WOULD SHOW AND CAUSE MORE PROBLEMS. AKA WARRANTY. NOW I DONT HAVE THE OFF ROAD CAPABILITIES AND 4 WHEEL DRIVE SAFETY THAT I HAD WHEN WE PURCHASED THE CAR. WITH THESE STREET TIRES WHICH ARE NOT RATED FOR SAND GRAVEL SNOW ETC, DONT WORK ON 4 WHEEL DRIVE VEHICLES, AND CAUSE ME TO LOSE MILEAGE, NOW I HAVE A CAR THAT WAS PURCHASED, THE 4 TIRES WERE CHANGED, ONLY 4 RIMS WERE CHANGED AND I HAVE NO OFF ROAD CAPABILITIES. I PAID FOR THE TIRES THAT WERE ON THE VEHICLE, I PAID FOR THE CAR TO HAVE OFF ROAD AND 4 WHEEL DRIVE CAQPABILTYS AND NOW I HAVE NOON. NOT EVEN THE RIGHT SPARE.
