I know of lots of 2005's on the other forum that haven't had anything happen.
How many is that in integer numbers exactly? Lots? 3, 10, 8,416? When you say you "know", does that mean you know as in you personally verified each and every Internet forum post report of a 2005 CRD that "haven't had anything happen?" Or you are posting what you believe as an assumed fact?
I suspect that its your very loose interpretation of the english language to suit your particular point of view that raises credibility issues.
I think this post of yours, on Jeepforum, dated February 9, 2007, in response to a newbie question about possible issues with the CRD causing the low resale value of the CRD they were looking at buying, illustrates what I'm saying:
"Nothing wrong with my 2006.
There have been a few 2005's with some tranny issues. Jeep is taking care of it though." So again, I ask the question, how many exactly is a few? Unless you have real data, why are you posting your assumptions as fact?
Now I know you've read some of the issues noted here after the F37 recall, yet you lead this newbie poster on that forum to believe that "Jeep is taking care of the "few tranny issues."
Why would you post that, in view of DC's handling of the issues over the last 2 years, and not knowing the outcome of the F37 CSN yet? Do you know something about the F37 CSN that those of us with tranny failures don't know yet? Especially when you admit you have not had trouble with your CRD? Without having your CRD worked on yet for tranny issues, how do you determine that Jeep is taking care of it? Help me understand this logic.
Your answer clearly leaves the impression that only a few 2005 have tranny issues, that Jeep is handling the situation, facts that you have no possible way of verfiying. Unless you work for DC, directly or indirectly, with exact data on the number of tranny issues, repeat repairs and what the specifications are on the replacement torque converter, the power reduction in absolute terms, then you are making assumptions about "Jeep taking care of it," and the number of CRD's with tranny issues.
You could stop cluttering the forum with your assumptions by not posting opinions as fact, or at least validating or identifying your assumptions. If you do that, you would likely not have to defend the credibility of your posts.
