Jeep woes

And I’m overdue for a blog post, so I thought I would pop in and say hello!

We’ve had some car troubles, and the biggest part of the trouble was getting the Jeep dealership to actually look at the car. Jeep kept our car for almost a week and half before running a diagnostic on it. I had to call Jeep headquarters to contact the dealer because the dealer would 1. not answer the phone and let it go to the full voicemail box in the service department 2. answer the phone, and tell me someone would call me back, which they never did 3. answer the phone, and put me on hold, and leave me there.

Seriously.

When I called Jeep headquarters to complain, the dealer managed to look at the car and fix it that very day. However, when we went to pick it up, they hid it at the back of the lot and blocked it in with other cars so that we couldn’t leave. I took pictures. They knew we were coming. Petty.

Anyway, the Jeep is now back, and fixed. And since it was under warranty (oh yes, all this for a car under warranty. And no loaner offered.), we didn’t pay for the repair. We still might sell it, because who has time for this whenever your car needs to be fixed?

Oh, almost forgot—the reason we took it in? The service engine light came on. When we told them what had happened, they said we should have made an appointment. Again. Seriously?!

Hence, the blogging delay. Jeep took up for more of my mental real estate this week than it should have. But now I have all this space for thinking and writing again! Hooray!
