In 86' when my daughter was born, my wife said we needed a family car now! Having three Porsche 911's, a pickup and old Toyota was got going to work. So we got a new Jeep Cherokee. First problem was it sat about lower on one side in the rear. Dealer agrees, so they are going to change the springs in the rear on the one side. Tech puts the spring on, but puts in with the E brake cable over the spring instead of under it. So the next day when we go on a trip with it loaded down with stuff the one rear wheel is locking up! They also did a recall repair on the intake gasket. Wife says it is running like **** when she gets home from the dealer. Open the hood, air cleaner is laying on the side, about six vacuum hosed off and well as about three electrical connectors. I had to cut the brake cable so we could go on are trip and put everything back together under the hood. Service manager then expects me to pay for the new brake cable! I start yelling that their tech nearly killed me and my family right in front of everyone and that their drug induced staff does not know their ass from a hole in the ground, and I will be suing for all damages to my first ever new car. Got it all fixed and never been back to a dealer for any repairs or recalls!
