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?
