“This Jeep has had problems since I first bought it. I questioned the dealer about these problems as they arose. I was made to feel that all these things are perfectly natural. This Jeep cannot even back up my driveway without squealing, tires and smoking the tires, no matter how slowly I try to go up it. I do not feel safe in this vehicle and would like Jeep chrysler to take this vehicle back. I cannot put into 2000 characters all the problems I have had with this vehicle. I have an 11 year old child and thought I was buying reliable transportation. …”

Asked for this in writing they would not give it to me and I contacted district manager several times he would not respond back. This is a truck and it is merchandised as so in their pamphlets. It says this truck can go in mountains beaches ect. Why do I have to wash this vehicle everyday in order to stop chipping of paint. Could there could be defect. …”
