IN MID JANUARY WAS SENT A RECALL NOTICE. TRIED TO SETUP AN APPOINTMENT WITH MY DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR.

MY CAR EXPERIENCED A SPORADIC ROUGH IDLE OVER A 2 WEEK PERIOD. ONE DAY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WHEN ON AFTER STARTING THE CAR. AFTER READING THE CODES CYLINDER 2 WAS DETERMINED TO BE THE ISSUE. A SHOP REPLACED THE IGNITION COIL AND ALL SEEMED WELL. THE NEXT DAY AFTER DRIVING THE CAR ALL DAY WITH NO ISSUE, I RESTARTED THE JEEP AFTER A 10 MINUTE BREAK AND IT WOULD NOT START. WHEN IT FINALLY STARTED IT SOUNDED LIKE HALF THE CYLINDERS WERE NOT FIRING AND HAD A SLAPPING SOUND. TOWED IT TO DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD CYLINDER 2 HAD NO COMPRESSION AND IT NEEDED A NEW CYLINDER HEAD. BOTH SIDES WOULD COST $3,500. PARTS WERE ORDERED AND 10 DAYS LATER THEY CALLED ME AND SAID THERE WERE OTHER PROBLEMS AND THE CYLINDER HEAD WAS NOT THE ISSUE. PISTON SEEMED BENT AND IT NEEDED A LONG ENGINE BLOCK AND A WATER PUMP. THIS WOULD COST $7,000. NOT WORTH THE FIX. IT SEEMS CYLINDER 2 IS AN ISSUE IN MANY LIBERTY'S OF THIS YEAR. *TR

I JUST RECENTLY BOUGHT A CAR ON JUNE 13, 2013 FOR $5,404.05 FROM SEATTLE AUTO MART, 12801 AURORA AVE. N., SEATTLE, WA 98133. I BOUGHT THE CAR "AS IS" WITH NO WARRANTY. IT WAS THE FIRST CAR I HAVE EVER PURCHASED IN MY LIFE. I WAS GIVEN A 60 DAY VERBAL AGREEMENT THAT IF ANYTHING BROKE DOWN, THEY WOULD FIX. IT. MY LOAN WAS THROUGH UNITED FINANCE COMPANY, P.O. BOX 862, AUBURN, WA 98071. A VEHICLE INSPECTION WAS DONE ON THE CAR MY THE DEALERSHIP. AFTER I PURCHASED THE CAR, I LEFT FOR CALIFORNIA BECAUSE MY DAD WAS VERY SICK. I WAS GONE FOR ABOUT TWO WEEKS. WHEN I CAME BACK FROM CALIFORNIA, THE SECOND DAY I GOT BACK, I DROVE IT A FEW BLOCKS FROM MY HOUSE, AND THE CAR STOPPED ON ME AT A STOP SIGN! IT STARTED SMOKING FROM THE BACK AND FROM UNDER THE HOOD AND IT WOULDN'T START. I HAD IT TOWED FOR THE NIGHT. I THEN CALLED SEATTLE AUTO MART, WHERE I GOT THE CAR FROM AND THEY HAD THEIR PEOPLE TO COME AND PICK IT UP. I TOLD THEM WHAT HAPPENED AND THAT I JUST WANTED IT FIXED. THEN THEY CALLED TO TELL ME THAT THE PROBLEM WITH THE CAR WAS THAT THE ENGINE BLEW AND THAT I WOULD HAVE TO COME OUT THE POCKET TO HELP PAY FOR THE REPAIRS OR THEY COULD GET USED PARTS AND I WOULD PAY NOTHING. I TOLD THEM TO GO AHEAD AND FIX THE CAR WITH THE USED PARTS (EVEN THOUGH I SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN NEW PARTS). I DIDN'T MAKE A PAYMENT UNTIL THE CAR WAS FIXED. THEN SO I DECIDED TO CUT MY LOSSES SINCE THEY WERE NOT WILLING TO HELP ME AND I GAVE THE CAR BACK. A MONTH LATER, I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE IN THE MAIL FROM THE CHRYSLER GROUP LLC STATING THAT THE VEHICLE HAS A SMALL FUEL LEAK AND COULD RESULT IN A FIRE. ON SATURDAY APRIL 5, 2014 I RECEIVED ANOTHER RECALL NOTICE ! OVERALL SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE! I WANT A NEW CAR OR TO BE COMPENSATED FOR THE HARDSHIP I WENT THROUGH ONLY HAVING THE CAR FOR LESS THAN 30 DAYS! THE DEALERSHIP, SEATTLE AUTO MART SHOULD NOT HAVE SOLD ME THAT CAR!
