*September 17, 2021 purchased 2017 Jeep Renegade - lifewarrior
*September 17, 2021 purchased 2017 Jeep Renegade Latitude. Mileage at time of sale was 46,647 miles.
*October 14, 2021 Vehicle had a rough idle and would barely run. Towed to Porters Garage in Greenville. They could not figure out what was wrong with it but replaced the spark plug boots that were flooded with gasoline. Due to nationwide shortages the part took a long time coming in and I was without the vehicle until October 29th.
*December 23, 2021 the Vehicle would not start. Porters Garage came and tried boosting it. Was towed to Porters for the second time. The spark plugs were again soaked with gasoline. They replaced the spark plugs and new battery to see if that would make a difference. Mileage was 48,471 at that time.
*January 6, 2022 Third tow. The vehicle was towed to Porters Garage. They tried and could not figure out what was soaking the spark plugs with gasoline. Vehicle was then towed to Hartley’s in Newport. Hartley’s replaced the MAP Sensor and the vehicle was ready January 11, 2022.
*February 26, 2022 Fifth tow to Hartley’s. Vehicle would not start. Hartley’s said MAP Sensor was faulty and replaced again. Was without vehicle for over a week.
*September 22, 2022 Sixth tow to Hartley’s. Same issues. Won’t start. Estimated date for Hartley’s to take it in in September 30th. 51,656 miles. Hartley’s had vehicle for a week. From Hartley’s: “Vehicle would not start. Stored code in the system B1000-47 for the BCM, found update for the issue for the BCM. If code returns after the update the vehicle will need a new BCM. I also requested an oil change as vehicle stated it was due. Yearly inspection was due as well. I received a phone call that they were unable to perform the inspection. From Hartley’s: “All four rotors are glazed from possibly sitting, the rear sway links have play. Recommended replacement (item is on backorder).
*September 29, 2022 My Mother, Emily Martin, the co-signer got a ride and was dropped off to pick up the vehicle in the afternoon while I was at work. She drove the vehicle to Greenville. I picked it up after 4 p.m. I drove the vehicle one mile to my home.
*September 30, 2022 I went out in the morning at 5:15 to go to work and the vehicle would not start. It clicked and then the check engine came on and flashing red lights and the vehicle would not start. The vehicle was then towed to Hartley’s. I received a phone call in the afternoon from Lauren Becker the Service Advisor for Hartley’s. There are no codes and no point of origin for the technician to begin diagnosing. There is nothing they can do. I do have this in writing. The vehicle is still at Hartley’s in Newport. In a year I have put 5,000 miles on this vehicle. The nationwide yearly average is over 12,000 miles. Vehicle can't be inspected and won't run. Yet paying $446.07 for another five years. I work at a hospital and can't miss work. Sharing a vehicle with my Mother because they refused to give me a loaner. Nobody cares.
