It seems that everything is going against us with caravan issues and also the car. Hopefully caravan is now sorted so we can get on with enjoying some relaxing times away in the caravan.
Some of you may recall that earleir in Sept I was very concerned about a warning message on the dashboard of my 2012 Jeep as the Jeep was due for its MOT. The warning was regarding a message "Serv 4WD" plus the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) Activation light glowing. I had a 3 year service plan with the Jeep dealership and this covered up to £750 of repairs that may be required as a result of the MOT or service.
I dropped the Jeep off at the Jeep dealership in the morning with the warning message permently on. Anyway the Jeep went through the MOT with no reference to the warning message. I collected the Jeep and no warning message so was quite please.
However between the date of the servcie and now in the past month we have doen less than 500 miles with the Jeep. Unfortunately the message "Serv 4WD" and ESC Actitivation light are now both back up. I am now beginning to suspect that in order to save money the Jeep dealership accessed the onboard computer, removed the error message and did a temporary fix for the Jeep to pass the MOT.
In addition to the above, they never did the correct service and instead of a full service where a number of belts need to be changed etc they only did an interim service i.e one required every 6 months if the vehicle is used for police, taxi, heavy towing etc. Although the Jeep has only done 60k as it is 8 years old it should have had its 100k or 8 year service. They did the interim one for 93.5k instead and then told me it was the correct service althouhg the servcie plan clearly indicated 100k or 8th service.
They eventually conceded I was correct and the Jeep is going back, but I am not sure where I stand regarding the warning message as my gut feeling is that it should be covered by CRA 2015. Any input would be welcomed. Thanks.
