Default Think i got screwed

Had to bring RubyDoo to the dealer yesterday so they could due the Throwout bearing and also the TSB stuff for the clutch. Being they kept her over night they gave me a rent-a-car. The guy said being it warranty problem this was a close replacement vehicle, you guys and girls tell me is this even close???

Be happy they gave you one. If you don't have the extended warranty, be REALLY happy they gave you one. I have been through that with Chrysler on my Dodge...they don't hand those out. Funny, that's the same rental car I got when my Jeep went to the dealer...Dodge Caliber.

The Transmission in that thing is strange...no gears. It will make you hug the Jeep when it comes back.

most dealers dont even issue loaners anymore... in fact when my 08 was out of service for 3 weeks this summer for electrical issues I had to drill them and chrysler both t oget anything.. and they gave me that same kind of vehicle..

they are yanking the tranny out today finally after being in 3 times for popping out of 1st and I got a white one with bald tires. Going to camp this weekend where the driveway is like a bad trail the km2's sometimes struggle with all the snow melt and rain I wonder how well it will do. (Jeep roadside service: "I'm stuck in my driveway") lol!
