2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee power train problems

“Car was bought at affordable auto. The parking break had to be used in order for car to stay parked. We got home the windows on passenger side did not go down. Transmissions slips and goes out of gear you must change gears like a stick shift and the jeep is automatic. The truck was as is but the safety hazards sHould have been fixed. We took back to the dealership affordable auto next day and two more times after that. All the problems still were there. Yesterday I asked could they put freon in the truck since they wont fix anything so the air conditioner does not work and I have a heart condition. I was told they will not put freon in the jeep until we catch up on car payments. we are a month behind because tried to get windows fixed but motors is dead completely. I told them that was wrong and we were threatened that they will repossess the jeep if we don't like it.”

“I BOUGHT MY VEHICLE IN DECEMBER AT ONE OF YOUR DEALERSHIPS AND WHEN I TEST DROVE IT I TOLD MY SALESMAN THAT IS SWAYED IN THE BACK END AND HE SAID I JUST HAVE TO GET USED TO IT CAUSE I'M USED TO A CAR. THIS PROBLEM HAS GOTTEN WORSE AND I HAD IT LOOKED AT AND THE BALL JOINT IS ABOUT TO FALL OUT AND THE REAR TENSION BARS AND PARTS ARE BROKE AND HAVE BEEN SINCE I PURCHASED IT. THIS IS UNSAFE AND I HAVE MY CHILDREN IN THIS CAR. IT HAS EVEN RUINED MY TIRES ESPECIALLY THE PASSENGERS BACK ONE. THE DEALERSHIP LOOKED AT IT AND SAID IT WILL BE OVER 1,000 TO FIX AND THEY WILL ONLY COVER 220 OF THE COST AND I PAY THE REST. I PAID OVER 7,000 FOR THE JEEP AND I FEEL IT'S THEIR JOB TO FIX IT ALL. IF NOT I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER CHRYSLER PRODUCT AGAIN. THIS MOTION IS ENOUGH TO PULL ME ALL OVER THE ROAD IN ALL WEATHER CONDITIONS.”
