Hey guys,
I have a 2008 Jeep Patriot 2.4 w/ 5-Speed. About 2 months ago, I was on a business trip and my wife's Patriot started flashing the warning lights for the ABS / Traction Control. Since she couldn't get a hold of me, she freaked out and took it to the dealer. They immediately replaced the ABS computer and charged her $700+ bucks. I found out a few days later and knew immediately that we got shafted because the ABS computer RARELY goes bad. I immediately assumed it's probably something wrong with one of the ABS wheel sensors. Sure enough, a week later, the same thing happened. We were actually in the middle of a move, so it's not like I could just take it back to the dealership 900 miles away.
Anyway, I'd like to just go ahead and order the replacement ABS sensors, but it doesn't seem like anyone sells them? I just went to Rock Auto, and they only list one, for the right rear wheel and they list it for $186 bucks!!!
Am I missing something? A friend of mine just ordered a set of 4 for his Jeep Liberty (2005) and they were like $15-20 each.
Do you guys know where I can find these? Any help would be appreciated.
One other thing, I'd like to order a couple of interior replacement parts, the shifter to console boot, and the shift knob are all broken and worse for wear. Is there a decent online Chrysler parts seller that I can just get the part number from and order it directly? I really don't have the time to drive to a dealership, wait in line, order the parts at full price, and then have to drive back again to pick them up when they finally come in.
Thanks!!!
Todd
