2003 Jeep Wrangler Other Problems

The frame on your Jeep Wrangler is prone to rusting, which can become a serious safety concern over time. Rust can weaken the structural integrity of the frame, potentially affecting how your vehicle handles in accidents or during normal driving. Addressing frame rust typically involves inspection by a mechanic and may require rust treatment, protective coatings, or frame reinforcement.

I WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST YOUR HELP REGARDING WINDSHIELD DAMAGE THAT OCCURRED ON I395 IN VIRGINIA. I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO CONTACT THE COMPANY WHICH OWNS OF THE DUMP TRUCK BY PHONE, EMAIL, AND REGULAR MAIL (WITH DELIVERY CONFIRMATION), AND HAVE RECEIVED NO RESPONSE. I ALSO SUBMITTED A COMPLAINT TO FAIRFAX COUNTY CONSUMER SERVICES DIVISION BUT WAS TOLD THAT THEY ONLY HANDLE COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE SALE OR PURCHASE OF AN ITEM. BELOW IS A COPY OF THE LETTER I SENT TO OWENS & SPARROW, WHOSE DUMP TRUCK CAUSED THE DAMAGE. I HAVE CONTACTED VDOT AS WELL, BUT WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST YOUR HELP IN ADDITION TO VDOTS. I FEEL VERY STRONGLY THAT IT IS THEIR RESPONSIBILITY TO REIMBURSE ME FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF MY WINDSHIELD. I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE YOUR HELP WITH THIS MATTER. JUNE 19, 2003 OWEN & SPARROW, LLC PO BOX 1595 LORTON, VA 22199 DEAR READER: AT APPROXIMATELY 12:15 P.M. ON THURSDAY, MAY 22, 2003, THE WINDSHIELD OF MY 2002 JEEP WRANGLER WAS STRUCK BY ROCK-LIKE DEBRIS THAT FLEW OUT OF AN OWEN & SPARROW, LLC DUMP TRUCK TRAVELING DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF ME. THIS RESULTED IN TWO CHIPS ON THE DRIVERS SIDE OF MY WINDSHIELD. AT THAT TIME, I WAS HEADING NORTH ON I395 AND WAS JUST SOUTH OF EXIT 7 (GLEBE ROAD). THE LICENSE PLATE NUMBER OF THAT DUMP TRUCK WAS 604-442; HOWEVER, I WAS UNABLE TO SEE WHICH STATE THE LICENSE PLATE WAS FROM. THE DUMP TRUCK ALSO HAD A 1-800-827-SAFE STICKER ON THE BACK OF IT WITH THE NUMBER PG763. AS A RESULT OF THIS DAMAGE, I NEED TO HAVE THE WINDSHIELD REPLACED. SINCE I KNOW THAT THIS DAMAGE WAS DIRECTLY CAUSED BY DEBRIS FROM ONE OF YOUR DUMP TRUCKS, I WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST REIMBURSEMENT OF $389.82. THIS AMOUNT INCLUDES THE COST OF A REPLACEMENT WINDSHIELD AS WELL AS REPLACEMENT OF TWO DECALS ON THE WINDSHIELD THAT ALSO HAVE TO BE REPLACED (FAIRFAX COUNTY VEHICLE DECAL AND EMISSION INSPECTION DECAL).
