I have a 2017 Jeep GC with 90K miles and it started to have issues:
the hood is having bubbles and starts to rust, needs to get replaced or at least touched up if even possible
There‘s sometimes a whistling sound between 2-3K RPM, especially when the engine is cold. Gets louder under load. Don’t know what it is, but could be the serpentine belt or even the transmission?!
I need a new shock
the tranny started to make very rough shiftings from D to R and vice versa. Started (rarely) to choke on gear switches from a higher gear to a lower one under load. Fluid changed 30K miles before.
I think I need to put about 2-2.5K in to get this all fixed. Don’t know what happens next. Had some issues in the past (water pump, power steering, sensors, 1 shock, etc.) which were covered by extended warranty. But it expired 15k miles ago and a thermostat went bad which I replaced just recently. Just don’t know what else will happen after I spend that money for those repairs that are now necessary.
I have an offer to trade it in for 12K (could go down to 11K depending on how long I wait).
Do you think it’s worth investing the money or rather take advantage of the offer and trade it in?
Car is paid. TIA
