APPROX. 2 YEARS AFTER PURCHASE DATE (50,000 MILES DRIVEN), THE CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND I WAS INFORMED BY A REGISTERED CHRYSLER DEALER THAT THE CAR NEEDED A NEW ENGINE. THE EXPENSE TO PERFORM THE DIAGNOSTIC WORK AND INSTALL REPLACEMENT ENGINE AND RELATED PARTS AMOUNTED TO $4,500. I WAS A DILIGENT CAR OWNER WITH A VERY SMALL INCOME, A SINGLE PARENT WHO HAS TO WORK, AND A 5 YEAR CAR-PAYMENT PLAN -- IN ESSENCE, I CHANGED THE OIL, TOOK THE CAR FOR ANY SERVICE OR REPAIR NEEDED. I GATHER FROM CALLS TO CHRSYLER AND MY JEEP DEALERSHIP THAT I JUST GOT A "BAD" ENGINE AND BECAUSE IT'S OUT OF THE 2-YEAR WARRANTY THERE IS NO COURSE OPEN TO ME TO BE REIMBURSED FOR THE REPAIRS DONE. OBVIOUSLY, SINCE I STILL HAVE 3 YEARS LEFT ON MY CAR PAYMENTS I COULD NOT JUST WALK AWAY AND LEAVE THE CAR. I NEED HELP. PLEASE ADVISE WHAT I CAN DO. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR TIME.

SENT JEEP GRAND CHERROKEE LAREDO TO JAY WOLFE JEEP ON JAN 31 2003 TO CHECK OUT LOW OIL PRESSURE INDICATOR WHICH COMES ON DAILY AND LOW COOLANT WHICH COMES ON EVERY SO OFTEN. VEHICLE HAS BETWEEN 48000 AND 49000 MILES ON IT. WAS TOLD IT WAS SENDING UNIT THEN GOT CALL SAYING THAT IT WASNT AND WOULD HAVE TO DROP OIL PAN. WAS ALSO TOLD NO SIGN OF COOLANT LEAK OR MIX WITH OIL. I NOW HAVE RECIEVED CALL INDICATING THAT IT COULD BE BLOWN HEAD GASKET WITH MILES INDICATED ABOVE. AFTER FURTHER INQUIRE I FOUND THAT NONE OF THE BASIC TESTING WAS DONE TO CHECK FOR OIL AND COOLANT MIX, THIS WAS ADMITED TO ME BY JEFF WHO IS ONE OF THE SERVICE ATTTENDANTS. JEEP SHOULD BE THE ONE PAYING FOR A BLOWN HEAD GASKET WHEN THE CAR HAS THESE LOW MILES ON IT. JEEP DEALER SHOULD ALSO BE COVERING COSTS SINCE THEY FAILED THEIR FUDICIARY DUTY TO PROPERLY DIAGNOSE THE CAR WITH THE BASIC CHECKS.
