Its been a while since I posted something but here comes my rant... get your
So about a 5 weeks ago i noticed what looked to be dirty ATF leaking on the ground at a pretty good pace so I took her in to a local Transmission shop and they told me it was leaking pretty good and needed a for transmission rebuild so I just for the heck of it I took it to the local dealer and they said they could do it for $300 cheaper with a full 3 year/100K mile warranty too so I decided to take her there (at this point I haven't been able to drive here for a week now). So this is where the adventure really begins... the Jeep stealership put her up on the rack and called me over to check it out the next day and they said that its definitely not the transmission leaking, a 100% guaranty that its NOT the trans leaking but most likely the valve cover gaskets that were leaking so I said thats sounds a lot better and cheaper so lets do it... so they ordered the parts and 1 week later they called me to tell me that it was still leaking but not as bad but still leaking, so I was like what now then... they responded with ok then what now? They told me that it has to be the rear engine seal and that it would be done by next week. Another week went by and no phone call, I had to call them just so they could tell me that they haven't finished her up yet so by monday or tuesday... Im sure you already know whats coming next, but i waited till Wednesday to hear from the dealership but nope again I had to call them and they again told me still not done but by friday for sure. I this point I'm pretty P.O.'ed
and I went to the dealership on my way home from work that friday and they were like oh so here is the problem now... it is the transmission that is leaking and we recommend that you put in a factory rebuilt transmission in because it is leaking from multiple spots on the transmission. Now I have steam coming out of my ears at this point and talked to the service manager about how I'm furious about how my KK has been here at your dealership for 30 days
and that we have now come full circle back to the original problem that I brought it in for to begin with... the TRANS!!!
So I asked him what they were going to do for me for all of this and the 30 days it took to get back to this point and now telling me that you want me to pay for all of this, to pay full boat for the trans and the labor to install it when they already had the trans removed to replace the rear engine seal (to save your eyeballs there was a lot of talking back-n-forth negotiations) we finally came to an agreement and I got all the work up to this point free of charge ($0) and putting in the factory rebuilt transmission (still full 3 year/100k mile warranty) and cost of the parts only. So its been another week and just picked her up last night, FINALLY I have her back and no fluid leaking at all now!!!!
Total cost of all work = $6400 after tax.
What I payed = $2700 after tax.
