In Sept I bid/purchased a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee. It was deliver with some smoking, upper engine knocking and ticking noise and oil steadily dripping out of the lower engine somewhere.
Three different licensed mechanics inspected and said that major component failures are imminent. Most likely due to excessive running with very low oil. All mechanics said a complete engine rebuild or replacement is necessary. Arbitrator then “self ” diagnosed and I was awarded about $1300 for lifters and repairs. They would not give any recourse for the major oil leak, I was not given any chance to reject the offer. Of course this did nothing to fix the problem. Arbitrator was made aware of the continuing condition of the vehicle and would not continue arbitration.
So this has cost me over $8000 to replace the engine because the selling dealer clearly misrepresented the vehicle.
