So in a offroading/camping trip last week to Northern CA, we managed to cause some damage to the Jeep, more than just scratches on the car and to the under body. All in all, some how the brake lights managed to exploded and proceed to melt in inside of the rear brake light housing on both sides. The transmission slips while shifting and if you lucky, it will go into 3rd gear instead of just skipping it complelty. If you go up the slighest hill, the transmission will drop into 2nd gear no matter what gear your in and stay there. The OBD light will come on and you have to pull over and reset the computer to get out of second gear and get the light to come off. When in 4wd low, the car wont shift out of 1st unless floored to the ground at which point it shifts and you feel like the transmission has just came out.
Moving onto body damage, I tore the front fender flare off by running into a tree. We also have some very nasty scratches on the sides of the car. I'm not talking about car guy scratches like "Oh no, got to get the Scratch-X", I'm talking scratches (more of gouges) that would make anybody flinch.
Well, once we got home, we had it towed the next day to the Jeep dealership and they forgot to write up a service report until tonight. Then they call us and ask "whats wrong with the brake lights." Not, how did this happen, or what warning signs were there, just whats wrong like they couldn't tell. Let me paint a picture, both housings are removed completely from the car, the bulbs are shattered, the housings are warped and it was towed there because the lights don't work. Is it that hard for somebody to realize that? Then, they call us back asking us if we would like them to fix the problem!!!!! My dad flat out told them, "no, we thought we would have the car towed to you guys and pay $100 deductible for no reason."
Well I'll have more but I needed to vent a little bit on that.
