Blown up my CRD

[What No Jeep]

I fear the $77k spare parts figure for an engine may not be far from the truth...

I remember about ten years ago a mate that worked at Honda had a customer that freaked at the $5k cost for a single V6 cyl head (no cam no valves just a bare casting.)

So in a quiet lunch hour they added up the price of building a complete Honda Legend from the parts book.....he stopped at about $1.25 Million.!!!

...talk about rapists..

Nothing ever really goes wrong with Hondas.

But on the rare occasion something does, the price of spare parts is ridiculous!

Luckily JJ had a few contacts at Jeep Aus in the warranty department and I went further up the tree. A few minutes later I got a call from the dealership to bring it back in so they could have another look.

5 hours later I got a call to pick up my Jeep with a brand new part, all done under warranty.

If Jenko really had complained about problems under warranty, then I reckon he's got fair reason to be jumping up and down over a $77k bill.

If you ever want proof that chrysler can be generous with there warranties and dealer relationships go a long way, there it is.

That blokes car cost chrysler almost more that the purchase price, 99% was caused by abuse.

Yes but to be fair that was a case of "who you know".

define abuse...................

[MR EXTREME JEEP]

From memory JJ's car was small lift, all terrains and a winch. Plus touring stuff. Abuse was right foot type. Point and shoot. Most times Jj's trips ended up on a flat bed. That was the norm. "god rest his soul"

I think its time for some positive feed back after read all this beat up on Jeep. my wife and i purchased our commander 07 model in sept 08, first week busted grille phoned jeep yes we have one in stock great ( good price was expecting to pay alot more ). Next was engine was stalling engine light came on contact Jeep Assist booked car in problem solved (sensor on motor )could not do enough for us. Last thing was while whipper snipping i shattered the back window i thought shit what do i tell the wife all she did was contacted Leo Muller Mansfield and they said yes we have one left in stock this was 3 pm xmas eve, they were prepared to come in xmas day morning to give it to us, what more could you ask for so lets all ease up on them and remember why we bought the crd motors in the first place because the pull like a train. All the best to my fellow jeep owners
