correct, Each state has different rules for Lemon, but I will be adding up the totals for a Lemon.
They are covering cost for replacement trans.
I had a 2012 JKU that had similar problems. They were constantly working on it. I had a case worker at Chrysler that heard from me every week. They finally got it straightened out but what a hassle. So far my JLU has been everything that it is cracked up to be. hang in there.JLU Rubicon has been into Dealership with Transmission/ engine light issue.
Dealer re flashed Transmission and said good to go.
Next day Jeep would not engage into gear. move transfer case from 2H to 4H back to 2H drove to Dealer.
Received call next Day and the are being shipped a new transmission.
Not feeling very comfortable with this vehicle in the Wyoming Back Country without cell phone coverge.
Feeling more Mall Rated than Trail Rated for this "NEW" Rubicon.
I think a buy back is in order to make it right.

That's ridiculous.
I do not know of any manufacturer that adds warranty to parts replaced under warranty. The agreement between you and the manufacturer is for warranty "free from defects" for x months or x years or x miles. If coverage is 3 years 36000 miles and a tranny goes at 30 months 30000 miles then you have 6 months and 6000 miles of coverage left. Engine are usually an exception and do carry their own separate coverage limits.
That limits what you drive. Most hi-end or hi-performance rides are only autos. Faster,lighter,better. Even the Honda gold Wings are autos.
You didn't catch what I said...when Jeep replaced my 6 months old Liberty auto trans at 7,500 miles...they said that the replacement trans had no warranty coverage at all! At first they tried say that somehow I had blown the trans...and would not warranty cover the replacement. I appealed and asked for proof that it was my fault. Jeep refused. I went to another district manager and he had Jeep replace the trans. But Jeep would not place any warranty on the new trans! Then I began to have electronic ignition problems...engine would die at stop lights...So I traded the piece of junk in for a Chevy Pickup that ran with absolutely zero problems for over 50,000 miles.
Who owned Jeep when this happened? Daimler-Benz? Cerberus? Or the current owners, Fiat? Given that the Liberty was dumped from the Jeep lineup six years ago, clearly it's not a recent event. I've had pretty good luck under Fiat, they seem to actually care about customer service rather than the old Detroit definition of service as "what a stallion does to a mare". Both Cerberus and Daimler-Benz were more interested in extracting money from Jeep than they were in providing customer service, short term thinking in both cases.
Appalling , but they all are becoming like that . Those customers with problems are considered expendable while they cook up "desirable" features to sell to the next generation of suckers .
Yep , and the operating word is "SEEM" ; more profit will overrule everything . The most important person in a business is the accountant ; the lowest paid is the customer service . That's why I suggest to friends to Not trade in a reliable vehicle when they purchase a new one . They ought to wait until the new one is itself proved reliable . The last trusted reliable vehicle I drove was a Jeep M-151 in the Army , but that was military contract and simple design , designed by mechanics who know a thing or two .
I did this time.
