On Christmas Day while traveling home for the holidays my 2007 wrangler threw a bearing and locked up cylinder number 4. I was 500 miles from home so we had to get a hotel for 4 days and rent a car to get home ( left the jeep in Sioux falls). I have an extended warranty and got authorized to get a new motor from jeep, all I had to pay was $100 deductible. Jeep told me that the wrangler would be ready for pick up today, so we drove 500 miles back to Sioux Falls to get it, and drove to a hotel. I have noticed that there is a very strange "vibration" that seems like something is "loose". The jeep handles perfect, it has all of its power, brakes feel good, no shake in the wheel nothing.It's just a annoying noise that wasn't there when I dropped off the jeep for repair. Another thing that I've noticed in the 10 miles I've driven since getting the jeep back is my factory sub no longer works >:( checked all the fuses and all are good. Lastly it looks like the idiot that filled all the fluids after the engine swap didn't use a funnel...really how hard is it to put oil and antifreeze in a car with out splashing it everywhere. What would you guys do if you were in my shoes?
Thanks,

 

If I was still in the location of the dealership I would head right back and throw a fit. I see that you have driven quite a distance to pick it up. If you are back in your home location then I would see if a local dealership that you used could help get things back in order.

 

I'm still in town where I picked up the jeep. I'm heading back there first thing in the morning. I just can't afford financially to be stuck in a hotel for to long.

 

No worries it will get fixed, but good grief what a inconvience.

That sucks... I hope they take care of you!

 

The sub issue, no telling, but the fluid spills unacceptable. They should make that right.

 

I have one of those adjustable bass boost modules that is always turned to the right (max setting).... Always. I noticed that it was cranked all the way to the left (minimum setting) when I got in.....the knob now does not change the bass what so ever now grrrrrr.

 

Sounds like they took it for a joy ride and did some damage.

 

Call 1-800-CHRYSLER and see if u can bring it to ur local dealer so u don't have to drive far, don't fly off the handle with them either.......I had a problem with a dealer here's the thread about it https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/jk-w...r-jeep-256870/ they should take care of us though local I would hope.......Good luck!

 

Any of you guys know anything about Lucas Jeep or Dodge City Jeep of Burlington here in South Jersey?
