Consumer Description

PURCHASED THE JEEP IN SEPTEMBER-1ST INCIDENT OCCURRED SEPT 30-ENGINE CUT OFF. TROUBLE LIGHT INDICATED NO OIL. TOOK JEEP INTO DEALER I WAS TOLD IT WAS A LOSE ELECTRICAL SWITCH. 2ND INCIDENT JEEP HAD A SIZZLING SOUND FROM ENGINE AREA LIKE AIR ESCAPING FROM VALVE OR MANIFEST. THE BRAKES HAD A CLICKING SOUND WHEN PRESSED. TOOK IN FOR REPAIR TO DEALER. THE DEALER-PREBUL JEEP REPLACES THE GEAR BOX WITHOUT INFORMING ME OF THE RECALL. I WAS NOT INFORMED OF A RECALL WHEN I PURCHASED THE JEEP. NOW THE ENGINE SOUNDS LIKE A RACE CAR, CAR SHAKES WHEN IDLE,WHEN CHANGING GEARS SOUND IS HARSH LIKE SOMETHING IS TEARING, AND THE BRAKES CLICK. I WAS TOLD BY PREBUL REPAIR THAT THERE WAS NO PROBLEMS NOW AND ALL THE JEEPS SOUND LIKE THAT. THE JEEP NOW DRIVES VERY ROUGH. I HAVE OWNED A JEEP PREVIOUSLY AND IT NEVER SOUND LIKE THIS ONE.*AK
