| Parking brake not fixed yet took to a mechanic and they adjusted and it still releases itself sometimes. out of the six complaints i have listed i would like to know if the repairs will be covered even though i bought my car off of an independent car dealer with no warranty. i bought the jeep as is and i had read in haynes automotive repair manual that because of a federally mandated extended warranty which covers emissions-related components such as the catalytic converter, check with a dealer service department before replacing the converter at your own expense. i believe my catalytic converter is bad would i be able to have the local dealer replace that part at no expense to me even though i bought the vehicle off of an independent dealer at 142425 on the odometer and it being a 90 model. i have noticed a lot of the same problems on your complaint database that i am having. will i be able to get these resolved at no expense to me? please respond or comment your suggestions will be highly appreciated. if i do end up paying for these repairs and their is a recall or something will i be able to be reimbursed for the repairs that i pay for? | |||
