Hey y'all.
Well, unfortunately 4 months in, I'm experiencing my first huge problem. To be honest, it's been a reoccurring issue, but something I haven't had the time to really take the car in, since I knew I would have to leave it, and that would leave me motor-less. (Sometimes I regret trading in my Kia, but oh well.)
The following is the situation that is happening, and I really need y'alls input.
I bought my car September '12. It's now February '12. I have a Limited edition '09 Jeep Pat. It has a sun roof, the talking phone (bluetooth), all of the good stuff you know?
I was originally supposed to buy a basic '12 Pat, but it sold, and then the '09 came on the lot, and I fell in love. Or lust.
Put my payment down the next day.
Fast forward to today. Every time a thunder storm comes in, the car holds water, and the water leaks through the front lights/sunroof button console. I brought it in yesterday to get routine maintenance on it (oil change, tire rotation), and I let them know of the leaking issue so that could be take care of.
Lo and behold, a thunder storm rolled in last night/this morning, and when I pulled up to the dealership this morning, my car was outside in the rain. Talked to service, he explained what happened, and why the car was leaking.
He told me that they replaced the sunroof/sealing. Okay, fine.
Y'all I kid you not. I pulled out of the parking spot, and drove two spots down, and Niagara falls fell in my car and on the radio.
Brought it back to service, talked to the manager. Apparently, this is a known issue.
I don't know if I should fault myself for not knowing any better (because my last car did not have a sunroof at all, and I honestly never even knew this type of stuff could happen).
I told them okay, I was in a pretty good mood this morning, and I didn't want to be upset. They cleaned up the car, and I was on my way. Left the dealership, and called my boyfriend to let him know what was going on, when I looked at the radio and realized that I was talking, but I couldn't see anything. That's when I got heated.
Because I asked the manager before I left the first time, what happens with the radio if its going to continuously happen. (It blanked out once, but came back on the same day).
So now, the Patriot is at the dealership. And I'm stuck in an '04 Impala that I hate.
I've already called Chrysler and opened a case, because I'm not about to deal with this, and I've put SO much money down on it and I'm still making payments on it (for the next 6 years mind you) and it's not fair. (I don't think that it is anyway).
Any kind of advice is needed. This was my first time buying my car on my own. With my first car, a family member did everything for me, and now he is no longer here.
