Sensors (2) for the braking system and cruise control acting up. Due to family emergencies we could not get this repair done while still under warranty. They initially quoted $2,100, saying the extended warranty didn't cover these parts (though the salesman had told me it "covers everything"), then $700, and ultimately charged $132.50. This Grand Cherokee, my wife's, had one or two similar problems in the first 36 months we had it. (We bought the Jeep around 20 March 2014, so it is just over 3 years old, and has less than 31,000 miles on it at this time.) |
