“I HAVE A SAFETY RECALL THAT CANNOT BE FIXED ACCORDING TO TUNKHANNOCK AUTO MART AND SCRANTON DODGE. I'M EXPERIENCING ALL KIND OF MALFUNCTIONS DUE TO THE SENSOR BEING BAD I HAVE NO POWER, MY SHIFTING, FUEL ECONOMY ,HARD STARTS,EVERYTHING. THIS IS MY ONLY VEHICLE AND I NEED A VEHICLE UNTIL THIS IS RESOLVED”
“I SEE THERE ARE TWO RECALLS IN MY VEHICLE - ONE FOR THE AIR BAGS AND SECOND FOR THE FUEL TANK HAVING POSSIBLE LEAKAGE. I LIVE ON AN ISLAND AND THE CLOSEST DEALER/REPAIR SHOP THAT COULD DO WORK IS IN ANOTHER TOWN THAT WOULD TAKE A WEEK LONG TRIP TO GET THERE BY BOAT, ETC. ANY SUGGESTIONS”
“I WENT TO THE STORE AND PICKED UP CHIPS AND DRINKS AND KEEP RUNNING FINE. GOT BACK IN IT AND TOOK ME SEVERAL TRIES TO CRANK. KEPT GOING DEAD ON THE MILE DRIVE HOME. HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO AFFORD TO GET IT FIXED BUT MECHANIC REPLACED COMPUTER SPARK PLUGS FUEL PUMP AND INJECTION SYSTEM. STILL WOULDN'T CRANK WELL. HAD NEW COMPUTER PROGRAMMED. NOTHING. TILL SAYS 3 CYLINDERS ARE NOT WORKING AND I NEED A NEW MOTOR.”
“AFTER HAVING SERVICE DONE TO THE FUEL TANK UNDER A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE, I NOW GET ERROR CODE 0544, LARGE EXHAUST GAS LEAK, . I HAD SERVICE DONE TO THE HOSES, AND TWO WERE FOUND DAMAGED NEAR THE TANK, , I REPLACED THE FUEL CAP, AND FINALLY REPLACED THE COMPUTER. BUT THE LIGHT CONTINUES TO COME ON. I HAVE NOT FOUND A SATISFACTORY ANSWER, BUT IT MUST BE RELATED TO WORK DONE BY THE JEEP DEALER. *TR”
