Got it back Sat afternoon. I asked the service desk if they filled the coolant back up, replied YES. So I decided to look anyway before I left, barely any in the resevoir - so they had to pull it back in for 15 minutes to do that. They claimed they never found the cause of the belt getting shredded, and tried to not even give me paperwork (problems with computer was the reason) but I requested they mail it to me.

On his behalf, there WAS a V6 Trans Am. 10 years earlier than yours, though.

The 20th Anniversary Trans Am in 1989 had the same turbo 3.8L V6 that was used in the Buick Grand National.

Not that he'd have known anything about that car, either....

They of course say it's a coincendence - but why would a 15,000 mile belt magically shred right after they serviced it??

I've done the first 2 changes myself, but since they do 4 free and the filter is pricey I decided to let them do one and here is my reward!! LOL

I'm not gonna to lie to you, my heart sank when I read what happened. I hope to God that they do right by you. Really do.
I have over 40,000 miles on my 2011 COD and no troubles ....yet.

I hate it when dealers are negligent. My dealer forgot to latch my hood once after service. Makes me wonder what else they could forget.

When I bought my Jeep the salesman was trying to tell me the Jk was so awesome off road because of the independent front suspension

and when I took delivery the only thing he could really tell me was how to adjust the clock.

I got the free oil change coupon from my dealer, I laughed and threw it right in the garbage.

Yup mine was replaced too , with only 10k miles...same problem with my jk.they also had to replace the air distribution housing. Parts were in backorder for 3 weeks! I love my jeep , but hate crappy Chrysler quality! :.Yup:
