| I was backing up out of a parking place in a walmart parking lot when a car coming up the aisle that was going really fast approached my jeep . they said they did not see my reverse lights. i checked the lights out and they do not work. i had the recall for the floor shifter fixed in november 2011. the service department at the dealership didn't do the work in one visit and i had to return for a 'detent part' but they gave me no paperwork what-so-ever for what work they did. i had to return to the service department numerous times for them to adjust the shifter because it would not engage correctly. they assured me it did but it did not i'm my opinion. the reverse lights will not come on when i engage reverse. *tr | |||
