Default 2012 WK GC apparently needs a new trans

Just feel the need to vent, so...

As the title says, according to my Jeep dealer, today, my 2012 GC Limited needs a new trans - had the ESC and SERV 4WD lights come on a couple of times, which reset themselves when I stopped/started the engine, so took it in today for them to have a look at.

They've quoted me $20K for a brand new US original - yeah, like that's going to happen - and around $9-10K for a rebuild, which floored me completely.

Without wishing to swear, I'm kinda f^cking annoyed - apparently there have been leaks in the trans cooler lines - given that the car was last serviced by the same dealer, back in Sept last year, I'm amazed at either the rapid deterioration, the fact I don't have huge pools of fluid everywhere (if it was leaking that badly) and/or the fact that they didn't pick any leaks up.

Going home to have a drink....
