WHILE DRIVING, I STARTED HEARING SOME BUMPING UNDERNEATH MY COMPASS AND A DAY LATER IT KNOCK AND DRIVING ROUGH. I MADE IT TO WORK AND IMMEDIATELY CALL TOW. A DAY AFTER THE TOW, I RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE REPAIR SHOP AND WAS TOLD THAT MY SUB FRAME HAD RUSTED THROUGH AND BROKE. I ONLY HAD THE VEHICLE FOR TWO TEARS AND A FEW MONTHS, AND STILL PAYING FOR IT. I CONTACTED JEEP CORP. AND WAS TOLD THE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO FOR ME. MY FIDELITY WARRANTY STATES WHAT THEY COVER, BUT WHEN I CONTACTED THEM THEY TOLD ME THAT AFTER FIVE YEARS THEY DEEMS THE BAD TIE RODS AS WEAR & TEAR. I WAS NEVER TOLD THAT WHEN I PURCHASED THE SERVICE CONTRACT. IF MY PRAYERS AREN'T HEARD, THEN I MUST PAY $2700 OUT OF MY POCKET.
