ANYWAY it really depends on the dealership u take it to, i would think it would be better to take it to smaller dealerships with a service department where they could get the parts and get it done fast since there won't be so much business there

what dealership are u going to in MD anyway?

Damn man, it hurts my eyes just reading that but that sucks about the way the dealership handled the whole situation. Look at it this way. If you hadn't gotten the extended warranty you would have also been dishing out a couple of Gs.

The reason I went to school and learnd how to fix my own stuff.....sucks that it took so long. Getting a hold of parts for evolutions nowdays is gettting seemingly more and more difficult. And you needed the syncro update which had been recalled on your model. 3 & 5th I think it was.
Ordering the wrong part would make me ask.." if you guys ordered the wrong part,What else has gone wrong...? " You know.

the reason i asked about the rental is because of a lesson i learned. this is only if the rental belongs to the repair company. my buddy had the same problem as you. he got the shops "awesome" rental car. the shop keep dicking w/ him until he had enough. he went through 3 cars in a week. his vechicle was fix in no time. i cant tell you if it was fixed right, but it was done. i also want to add that i dont ever want to sit in a car, in a flooded field for 2 hours ever again. he definitely killed that rental car. just think of the joy you'll have driving it when it done and fixed.

You'll have the car back soon enough, have some patience!

Yeah the dealer didn't do what they said, but you'll experience that again, I guarantee that much.

good luck man...
I would never take my car to Sherwood.... right when i bought mine, the mistu dealership left Sherwood and jeep came in. I was only going to buy oil filters there LOL. Dover isnt much better. I would request them repair it at a mistu dealer.
Have you tried the obvious like flushing the fluids, changing the shift linkage bushing, etc.
Let me know if you need a hand (i was the white one you passed on 13)
