Cherokee 9 speed controversial question/advice.
So I have a 2015 Cherokee, I got into an accident pretty much exactly a year ago driving to work... on my learners permit... the accident was caused by a faulty brake booster in an emergency stop situation which while investigating Jeep claimed to not be a problem yet when the car came back it was fixed.
Anyway needless to say they were no help, the problem is the accident punctured the transmission oil cooler and the tranny was burned before I even realized (it looked cosmetic at first). Now I didn't have my deductible at the time so I would've been unable to claim anyway even if I felt it wasn't a fault. My question is, one year later, having driven the car and experienced transmission issues continuously in the meantime. If I attempted to claim on the insurance could they tell by looking that it had been damaged for a year. I am trying to work out my best way out of this and don't want to get into a legal mess on top of everything else. At this stage it is either a late insurance claim or a voluntary repo (I know all the repercussions of the latter and would make arrangements to pay off what was still owed). |
Stay away from the repo you could windup paying sixy percent of the note and NOTE have the vehicle. I know a person who has done that, bank dumped the car and the court made her pay the note.:)

If I go that route I will have a replacement car beforehand anyway. |
I wonder how much it costs the rest of us for people to drop there problems on the banks, nothing is free in life.

He either took it in and "examined" the brakes before driving it and something about the examination fixed the brake issue OR, more cynically, he took it in and fixed the brakes in order to get out of fix anything else, either way it leaves me screwed. |
