Need help

[Sk7499]

what is it about this jeep that you are so stuck on buying it? something is not adding up. first you said they offered to let you out of the deal now you say you don't know if they will. If they are not willing to let you out get a lawyer. that in itself is more than enough to make me 100% leary of this vehicle. also when was it first put into service?

I m not sure if they will let me out of it. I belive they will but I like it because I'm thinking it's a good deal with low miles I bought it for 38k with 5 year warranty and before I didn't know much about jeeps. I'm weighing my options as even if I go buy another 2022 or 2023 I'd have no idea if the dealer fixed a similar issue and put a bandade on with changing a stabliser. With this one the plus is the extended warranty piece of mind. It's complicated as I'm in there loaner car I traded my new Honda to them I signed the papers for it but my wife is on the Honda title so they gave me my title and papers for my wife to sign. So technically they don't own my car

Just read this, sounds sketchy.

CarShield Coverage Exclusions
Similar to other extended car warranty providers, all CarShield plans come with exclusions. The list of parts left out of contracts typically includes the following:

• Damage from pre-existing conditions before the warranty took effect
• Damage to normal wear and tear items like windshield wiper blades, brake pads and air filters
• Damage caused by a lack of regular maintenance
• Issues related to acts of nature, car accidents, theft and vandalism
• Damage caused by modified parts

CarShield will not cover any repairs performed by unauthorized shops. This generally means any mechanic not associated with or certified by the ASE®.

Unless you are super attached to the Jeep, I think there are many other options out there. Or, keep saving and buy a newer one.

Usually you have 7 days I believe to return it, in most states. So, make your mind up soon.

Sometimes a deal, isn’t. It sounds like your gut instinct is telling you not to get it but the excitement of having it may be drowning it out. The thrill of a deal and a new to you Jeep will be short lived compared to the length of buyers remorse If there are bigger issues that a steering stabilizer would mask.

Yep exactly what u are saying damit. My only worry is if I buy another one it could have same issue and dealer would fix it I'd never know. Here at least I have some type of warranty. Anyway to be sure if I try get out and buy another one. This damper on a different jeep can also mask the issue and it might surface later on

Should be deals on any new 2023's still on lots. That would keep the excitement going.

you are over thinking it. I am on wrangler #5 and have never had death wobble. one thing is for certain the one you took home does......buy one that is in the factory warranty period bumper to bumper ie 3 years/36000 miles. Do not buy one that for certain has issues........

This!

I, very briefly, owned a beautiful JL Sport - bikini 2 door with a premium soft top. It was mostly terrific, but I bought it knowing I had the safety net of a (Carvana) 7-day return policy. After 3 or 4 days and a visit to a mechanic, I started the return
It broke my heart a bit to see my beautiful green Jeep leaving me on the back of a flatbed, but I'm ultimately glad I said goodbye. There were too many red flags.
A few months later, I got my Rubicon, and it has been terrific.

Low miles can I ask what type of issue did u have

Low miles can I ask what type of issue did u have

• Bad batteries (covered under original Mopar warranty)
• An engine light was on but the "checklist" said there were no lights
• That same "checklist" said remote start and some other features were functioning. Those feature did not exist on my vehicle. (They didn't say it had those features, but it highlighted how fake the checklist verification was)
• The toolkit wasn't in the Jeep. Also no big deal - a $15 replacement. BUT ... the salesguy made a big deal about typing my address into an iPad and said I'd have it in a week. It was all a show. He had ordered nothing
• The vending machine also wasn't working, which ctuallya was a big deal because I drove an hour to see my Jeep come down the elevator like a big ole gumball instead of having it delivered to me

There were some other things, too. Sleazy salesguy was high on the list. I didn't have him promise me about the toolkit in writing because I had that 7-day return. He lied, I used it.
It was not a good experience. But the return process was simple, and all my money was refunded

I'm buying a used jeep 2022 with 3 k Sahara 4e long story short I bought it on my way home I get the death wobble scared the shit out me I took it back same day to the dealer they say it's steering stabliser damper.
I find that hard to belive

My question is should I walk away from this truck as the dealer is willing to add a warranty to it or take it back I need people's opinion. I realky like the jeep but just don't want issues right from the start they want warranty it 5 year 100k miles through sheild

Take it back and get something else. Go to a new dealer, the one your at are morons, the stabilizer is not and will never be the culprit of Death Wobble.

If you do anything here is DO NOT BUY A CARSHIELD WARRANTY. The only warranty worth a damn is maxcare, nothing else is worth your money. If you've paid for it, refund it.

No, but the stabilizer prevents it from happening. Ya'll really need to get over this "no jeep should ever have a death wobble" nonsense. Replacing the dampener prevents it from happening, thus it fixes the issue. It's designed to be there for a damn reason. It happens in a very specific scenario (high speed over bumps) which is what the dampener is there to directly prevent.

The damn thing has been recalled three times and has an extended warranty because it's a known failure point. Stop ignoring service information because you think you know better.


I will say this one more time: The dampener was designed to be there. Stop acting like it's some bullshit added on by evil engineers to mask a real issue that doesn't exist. It's a solid axle with a body on frame design. You need a dampener for any high speed driving. If you still get a death wobble with a known good dampener then you start chasing suspension issues.

And for what it's worth my shop sees at least a dozen of these a week. It's an incredibly common problem.

So do u think it's major issue it's not carsheild mispoke it's Triton warranty and it has jeep warranty balance on g factory plus 12k 1 year jeep and 5year 100k trot n ulimare wrap and power train 6 years 100k from jeep form the day I bought ut

 

[alphawolff]

So do u think it's aajory issue it's not caevsheild mispke it's Triton warranty and it has made par 12k 1 year

If it isn't mopar maxcare you're effectively wasting your money. Most 3rd party contracts are an absolute hassle to deal with. Maxcare is effectively an extension of your basic bumper to bumper warranty. The dealer checks to see if the part is covered and it's done. No negotiation, no inspectors, nothing.

 

[Sk7499]

Miixed emotions I'm sesawing back and forth they through in the warranty I didn't buy it as to keep the deal alive they didnt want to as that wasover 1 hr try get that to but that's the only way I'd consider it's more of a fuds issue for me as I looked there isn't many by me and I have a car that I need trade. As the trade saves my taxes and the sales price being lower now is what's attractive. Fuck don't know what to do I will makeup my mind when I see what they fix they said they will rebalance tires retorque everything and look at the suspension and change the stabilizer. My thought is to see if they come up with some issue other than stabilizer if they say out alignment or something else then maybe that was root cause. I'm my worsr nemy what I'd this or that I'm stick I it as the wife likes the color to go figure
