Example complaints

“I bought my Wrangler in october 2000, which was a new 2001. Up until this year, 2004, I have been losing coolant fluid from the reserve bottle. The dealership which the vehicle was purchased, bill deluca chrysler, plymouth, Jeep, inc., in havehill, ma, tested it right through my warranty expiration. It was not until I broke down in ct, where another Jeep dealership, georgetown Jeep dealership, told me about a dye test should be performed. When I went back to my original dealer, I had to argue with them to perform the dye test, because they wanted to pressurize my Jeep...again. …”
