Jeep, Extended warranty coverage. Bought a new 2021 Wrangler, to include an extended warranty to 100,000 miles, from Rocky Top Jeep of Eastern TN. When I experienced the “Jeep Death Wabble” at around 51,000 miles, I took it to the closest Jeep Sales and Service center for repair (North Knox Jeep in Knoxville) and they specially identified the repairs and parts needed to fix it. This included a part that they would have to order in order to complete the repairs. When I identified the extended warranty my Jeep was under (apparently not a MOPAR based warranty extension), I was informed that I had to leave my Jeep at the dealership for 24-48 hours while an “inspector” is scheduled to come out and verify the problem. No curtesy car provided, no parts put on order, Nothing can be done until this “3rd party inspector” looks at the problem. Talking to the warranty company directly, they wouldn’t even schedule a specific inspection day/time with me so i could bring in the car to be inspected. So, I was expected to drive around in a vehicle with serious steering issues, as identified by a certified Jeep Sales/Service Center, or leave my car at the dealership for 2-4 DAYS, so “Warranty” repairs can “maybe” be fixed based on 3rd party inspector results. Well, I Need my car, so I decided to pay for the repairs myself so they could order the parts needed for repair and accomplish such within the next 2 days. Again, for supposedly Warranty covered repairs!!!
When trying to get a reimbursement for my repair cost, the dealership just blew me off saying the warranty coverage, “is what it is”, and Jeep Customer Care also blew me off because Jeep dealers are “independent” of Jeep Corporate, and what they say is final.
Needless to say, I Used to love Jeep, but not anymore. Jeep, apparently, doesn’t stand behind their product, and they allow independent dealerships to Sell extended warranty packages that aren’t worth the paper they are written on.
