JEEP ISSUES

[OldVetteGuy]

Not gonna be easy to get them to buy it back, im
2 months past my states lemon law , there is a federal lemon law of four years , but so far for Lawyer we have contacted want to do a cash and keep , which would be from two to $20,000 , but then I’m stuck with a vehicle if they can’t fix it that I cannot trade in or probably sell

Seems you have been fighting the problem for much long then 2 months, your state complaint should be grandfathered because you had it in for service on this issue and inside of the period where the state lemon law was active. It's not your fault it took Jeep so long to get parts and get around to change them.

For what its worth you don't want to take the cash just because you may or may not end up with a branded title and yes your right it would be hell trying to sell it down the road and who knows what else will fail next. These are all issues for the lawyer and the reason we pay them so much.

At this point there is no way Jeep can argue the fact you have a lemon and it can't be fixed, something very wrong happened during the manufacturing process and/or you have the perfect storm of parts that just don't want to work together. Either way keep us all posted, I do wish there was a way the moderators could highlight or keep this thread at the top of the list. Perhaps sticky it.

Other potential buyers need to see how Jeep is handling this issue and what ever the final outcome might be!

Now they are trying to blame my aftermarket sub , it’s a kick of powered sub, power from the battery and a ground, and it grabs the speaker levels and the rear B pillar nothing else . So I removed it and it’s still messing up.

Mind u they have staring at that subwoofer for 35 days now

I have one as of yesterday , but it’s 2 months past my states lemon law , I would need to file federal lemon law , I’ve talked to atleast 5 , they all said a buyback would be the toughest, unless they never actually fix it .

Unbelievable, talk about the final acts of desperation from a Service department.

This is exactly the issue I’m having and the exact trouble codes being pulled up

That's crazy, They put a new tranny in my gladiator that was 3 years old and had it in the shop 45 days and I filed a lemon law and they offered full buy back. I denied and they paid me out 27K. They fixed it and I sold it. Hence the 392. Fight the good fight and you'll come on top.

I’m gonna have a slightly more uphill battle Massachusetts has only one year lemon law , I’m 1 year 2 months , I need to fight them with the federal lemon law which is the Magnuson lemon law , it’s slightly less defined than the states, it doesn’t set a 30 day limit in the shop. It just says unreasonable amount of time so that’s open for interpretation the longer. It’s there the better for me.

I think the that they're throwing parts at it, they don't know the problem, it sounds electrical, and the amount of time its in the shop works in your favor.

I agree , something’s is most likely shorted out , which is a needle in a haystack

In all honesty I seriously doubt the so called "engineers" working on it have the expertise or equipment to resolve this problem which is a sad state of affairs to say the least.

Not to digress but I once had a door lock/interior lighting issue with my 08 H2, after spending 2 days with the schematic and my Tech 2 factory scanner I isolated the problem to a Canbus wire in the drivers door that had cracked internally and was intermittent. It's funny, the Hummer/Cadillac tech's could not find it and it drove them nuts but with some patience and perseverance I found it and fixed it by replacing the bad wire in the harness.

I guess my question to you is: If you wanted to take a payout what are seat heaters worth to you and second, will the factory warranty remain in place for all other items that would normally be covered?

Personally if Jeep gave me 25-30k and would fully warranty the rest of the Jeep I could live with that but I only use the seat heaters in my Jeep maybe 2 times a year.

The issue is the no cameras , off roading is a problem without those cameras,plus I have no issue backing up, but the wife needs it with the giant spear tire in the way .plus I would have a hard time selling or trading it in with those issues

Absolutely, don't let Jeep get away with this.

If not already mentioned earlier in this long, sad saga, the no-functioning rear view camera is a safety issue. Stellantis should be all over this. If this is the best that they can do, we are all in trouble. It really sucks that you have to go through this nightmare.

add it to the list now the heated steering wheel doesn’t work, it was working perfectly fine before it went to the Dealer so now I don’t have seats ,steering wheel, or either camera
