Wow, Mrs. Ellison. You came in from Michigan, we quickly diagnosed your problem and went to order the part from Jeep. Jeep had ZERO in stock, nationally, so we ordered from the closest dealer that had one, immediately. That dealer, Jerry Ulm in Tampa, either didn't have the part or refused to ship it, AFTER taking our money. Once we knew that, we ordered and paid for another part from the next closest dealer, hoping that we would win a claim against the first dealer. Throughout this process, you were given the tracking numbers so you could see what was happening yourself. The second ordered part was delayed, probably due to the DHS shutdown, which you know. We had you in a brand-new Grand Cherokee, of which you paid a minimal rate for four days, after which you received another one for free from the owner. When we received the part, your vehicle was repaired immediately and given back to you. The parts were beyond our control, which you knew, and yet this is your reaction. We will make this easy for you. You and Gary are never welcome back, under any circumstances. Good fortune to you.

Do you honestly think we would ever come back after the service we received? Yes, I was given a UPS tracking number but after 3 days without a UPS update, unlike you, I would have realized there was a problem and ordered another part. It took 8 days and an email to the owner before another part was ordered, that is unacceptable. And then after ordering the second part, why would I assume the delay had anything to do with the DHS shutdown when I was first told the truck that had our part was in an accident, then I was told you weren’t sure if the part was on the truck, then I was told it was at the Tampa Airport, which the tracking number did verify that it was in Tampa. And yes, you did supply us with a new Jeep to drive that we had to pay for with a limit on the miles we could drive but all we wanted was our own Jeep since we had several day trips planned with friends that flew down. This should have been handled in a much better and more efficient way. Maybe if you had to go without your vehicle for 3 weeks, you'd think differently.
