1 00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:01,920 Speaker 1: You'll call it, and. 2 00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:08,640 Speaker 2: That's right. 3 00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:10,880 Speaker 1: If you call and we're not live, you can leave 4 00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:12,600 Speaker 1: a message and we'll call you back to get you 5 00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:15,560 Speaker 1: on the air with Ron eight five five five six 6 00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:17,360 Speaker 1: zero nine nine zero zero. 7 00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:19,280 Speaker 2: Speaking of Ron, here he is. 8 00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:23,520 Speaker 1: Let us go to Illinois and talk to Tiffany because 9 00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:24,680 Speaker 1: this doesn't sound good. 10 00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:27,760 Speaker 2: Tiffany, Sorry, Ron Allegen. 11 00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:31,160 Speaker 1: How are you? I love you about I think I'm 12 00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:33,400 Speaker 1: better than you at this point. How's your jeep? How's 13 00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:35,640 Speaker 1: your jeep? In your corroda hinges? This is going to be? 14 00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:39,239 Speaker 2: It was. I do have to say, after fighting with 15 00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:43,240 Speaker 2: Jeep for a year, I'm happy I didn't stop fighting. 16 00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:46,800 Speaker 2: They did finally fix it. I found a Jeep dealer 17 00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:52,599 Speaker 2: that finally would take us in. It ended up costing 18 00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:59,720 Speaker 2: them sixteen thousand dollars. My concern is that other people 19 00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:04,039 Speaker 2: have the same issue, and before someone is injured seriously 20 00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:07,000 Speaker 2: in an accident, I think Jeep needs to do the 21 00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:11,000 Speaker 2: right thing and recall. I think it's twenty eighteen to 22 00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:13,560 Speaker 2: twenty twenty one. Don't quote me on that, but I 23 00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:18,640 Speaker 2: think those are the models one percent. They know the issue. 24 00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:22,200 Speaker 2: I was reading online several people have had this issue 25 00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:25,240 Speaker 2: and if there's an accident and those doors fall off, 26 00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:27,280 Speaker 2: someone could be seriously injured. 27 00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:29,280 Speaker 1: Well, you mean the parts aren't supposed to fall off. 28 00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:32,840 Speaker 1: The vehicle's a that's a sign of failure, you know. 29 00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:36,560 Speaker 1: You know what jeep stands for, right, no junk each 30 00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:39,240 Speaker 1: in every part. You know, it's either that or just 31 00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:42,440 Speaker 1: expect expensive problems. And here you go sixteen thousand dollars. 32 00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:45,679 Speaker 1: It boggles my mind and for everybody else out there 33 00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:49,000 Speaker 1: that wonders what Tiffany and I are talking about. The 34 00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:53,560 Speaker 1: door hinges on certain Jeep models corrode depending on that. 35 00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:55,560 Speaker 1: You know, some of them, I've heard it where some 36 00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:57,480 Speaker 1: of them are aluminum, some of them are zinc. But 37 00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:01,920 Speaker 1: there's a galvanic reaction, galvanic corrosion, and it will cause 38 00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:04,480 Speaker 1: the paint to bubble and lift. You know, you start 39 00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:06,240 Speaker 1: noticing it when you're at a traffic light in a 40 00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:08,360 Speaker 1: Nonjep vehicle. I'm sitting there at these vehicles, Go look 41 00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:10,919 Speaker 1: at the hinges on that thing. Wow, that's going to 42 00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:11,600 Speaker 1: fall off soon. 43 00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:14,440 Speaker 2: And it was all to lighten the load and get 44 00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:17,600 Speaker 2: better gas my ledge out of these vehicles. 45 00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:20,639 Speaker 1: Listen, the same person that thought of that created evs. 46 00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:22,600 Speaker 1: You know, because they thought that was a step in 47 00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:26,639 Speaker 1: the right direction. Oh was I critical. I'm sorry, God, 48 00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,400 Speaker 1: I have to stop doing that. Somebody sent me, you know, 49 00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:31,960 Speaker 1: and I'm going to use this as an opportunity. Thank you, Tiffany. 50 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,480 Speaker 1: I love you for presenting me with this opportunity. But 51 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:36,800 Speaker 1: I've got to tell you. Somebody sent me an article 52 00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:38,320 Speaker 1: the other day. I haven't looked it up to see 53 00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:42,600 Speaker 1: if it's true, but the US military is now buying 54 00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:46,640 Speaker 1: Teslas cyber trucks to use as target practice. I saw that. 55 00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:49,440 Speaker 1: I thought that was the funniest thing. I said, No, 56 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:52,080 Speaker 1: that can't be that, it. 57 00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:55,359 Speaker 2: Can be right. It's just unbelievable. 58 00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:59,320 Speaker 1: Is that what they're good for? And I've got to 59 00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:01,280 Speaker 1: look it up. I've got to google it, and I'm 60 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:03,480 Speaker 1: sure the car Doctor Nation you guys will find out 61 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 1: and let me know and we'll all talk about this. 62 00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:08,840 Speaker 1: But how can that be We're actually using cyber trucks 63 00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,959 Speaker 1: for target practice? Boy, let me tell you. I think 64 00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 1: I think they should put the engineers inside of them 65 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:14,320 Speaker 1: when they do. 66 00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:16,919 Speaker 2: Well, it's a good thing. I don't drive a cyber 67 00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:20,600 Speaker 2: truck right on the road. It might be yeah, got it. 68 00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:23,119 Speaker 1: So how did you finally get jeep to solve the problem. 69 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,440 Speaker 2: I just you know what, I went to dealership after dealership. 70 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:30,120 Speaker 2: I was given the run around constantly, and like I said, 71 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:33,640 Speaker 2: I found a dealership in Cedar Lake, Indiana that finally 72 00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,840 Speaker 2: would take me in. They had the car for quite 73 00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:39,520 Speaker 2: a while because they had to take off all the 74 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:43,160 Speaker 2: doors repaint all the doors. So I want to say 75 00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:45,400 Speaker 2: they had it for like two months, but it took 76 00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:49,360 Speaker 2: me three months from when they initially said, well, we'll 77 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 2: do the car. I think it was three months before 78 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:54,600 Speaker 2: I finally got in, and then another two months they 79 00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:57,840 Speaker 2: had the car to do the repairs. But it was 80 00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:01,080 Speaker 2: just it was my time and fighting. And they're not 81 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:03,080 Speaker 2: cheap vehicles to begin with, so. 82 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 1: That's probably that's probably a sixty sixty five thousand dollars 83 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:08,440 Speaker 1: vehicle entry level to get in the door. How much 84 00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:09,200 Speaker 1: was that vehicle new? 85 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:13,560 Speaker 2: Well, no, we actually bought it used it was only 86 00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:15,440 Speaker 2: it was only a year, not even a year old. 87 00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:17,599 Speaker 2: The guy couldn't fit in it because you know, jeeps 88 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:20,599 Speaker 2: are lower and the guy was tall, so his head 89 00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 2: was hitting the ceiling. So he traded it in and 90 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:27,680 Speaker 2: we bought it. It was only a year, maybe a 91 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 2: year old, and then as soon as we bought it 92 00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:31,880 Speaker 2: for forty thousand used. 93 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:36,080 Speaker 1: It was only forty right, it was only right, only 94 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:38,080 Speaker 1: forty thousand, let's let's talk about. 95 00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:40,920 Speaker 2: But when I saw the corrosion, I thought, no way, 96 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:45,920 Speaker 2: it's already starting. So I was very upset. And actually 97 00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:50,080 Speaker 2: it was my husband's midlife crisis. I never wanted the jeep, 98 00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:53,359 Speaker 2: but then we were stuck with it, and I thought, 99 00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:56,119 Speaker 2: I'm fighting for this, even nailed. 100 00:04:56,680 --> 00:05:01,400 Speaker 1: Now having been through this, would you buy another one? 101 00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:05,000 Speaker 2: No? Absolutely? You know what, Maybe an old school jeep. 102 00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:08,240 Speaker 2: I've always wanted an old school jeep, one that you 103 00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:11,760 Speaker 2: could just take the top off, leave it outside. 104 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:13,920 Speaker 1: Drive it through eight feet of mud, don't wash it. 105 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:17,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, just because I'm having other problems with other Chrysler, 106 00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:21,920 Speaker 2: Like my mom has a minivan, her transmission is going. 107 00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:26,599 Speaker 2: My dad passed away last year and left No, that's okay. 108 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:31,520 Speaker 2: He's always with me, left me a Chrysler Crossfire and 109 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:33,760 Speaker 2: my nephew. We had originally given it to my nephew. 110 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:35,120 Speaker 2: He was going to sell it. I said, no, that's 111 00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 2: my dad's sports car. I'm buying it. 112 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:37,640 Speaker 1: So I did. 113 00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:40,920 Speaker 2: He neglected to tell me that the key fob was 114 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 2: like breaking apart. Well, two days after I bought it, 115 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:48,320 Speaker 2: key fob breaks right, and I thought, oh no, I 116 00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:51,479 Speaker 2: can't start the car right. So had it towed to 117 00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:54,640 Speaker 2: a Chrysler dealer, only for them to tell me that 118 00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,480 Speaker 2: they do not make that key and they cannot fix 119 00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:01,920 Speaker 2: the key. So they said, you can try Mercedes because 120 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:04,880 Speaker 2: it has a Mercedes engine in it. Called Mercedes. I 121 00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:08,479 Speaker 2: was given the same response, we cannot fix the key 122 00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:11,800 Speaker 2: and we do not make those keys. So I had 123 00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:16,240 Speaker 2: to pay some genius carlock guy to come out. He 124 00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:20,599 Speaker 2: broke open the dashboard and somehow rechipped the key to 125 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:22,360 Speaker 2: make me a key, but I ended up costing me 126 00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:23,960 Speaker 2: nine hundred dollars to do it. So I don't want 127 00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:26,760 Speaker 2: to see them Why that genius can figure it out, 128 00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:30,560 Speaker 2: but the people who make the car or the engine 129 00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:31,839 Speaker 2: cannot figure it out. 130 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:34,159 Speaker 1: Well because they're not paid to figure it out. They're 131 00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:37,760 Speaker 1: paid to sell cars. And that's you know, that's the 132 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:41,400 Speaker 1: downfall of technology. Listen. I tell this story a lot. 133 00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:43,359 Speaker 1: It happens to me all the time. I'm always at 134 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:45,200 Speaker 1: the Delai, I'm always at Wilkes Deelhi over here in 135 00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:47,040 Speaker 1: mal On, New Jersey, I'll give pull a shout out. 136 00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:49,440 Speaker 1: And you know, I'm always coming out on a Saturday 137 00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:52,279 Speaker 1: before the show. I'm always getting my lunch and somebody 138 00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:55,960 Speaker 1: inevitably pulls in in some new fancy something Mercedes. Some 139 00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,120 Speaker 1: guy pulled in with a Corvette, a new vet, and he's, oh, 140 00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:00,760 Speaker 1: what do you think of Hey, great? You know, I 141 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:02,600 Speaker 1: think it's a giant flower pot in ten years when 142 00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:04,480 Speaker 1: you can't get parts for it, like, enjoy your hundred 143 00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:07,760 Speaker 1: and sixty thousand dollars car while you can, and you know, 144 00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:10,640 Speaker 1: but they're like, yeah, no, that's not true. And my 145 00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:14,440 Speaker 1: argument is, okay, go find me a computer that'll run 146 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:17,320 Speaker 1: Go find me a copy of Windows eight. Go find 147 00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:20,240 Speaker 1: me a copy. Go find a computer that'll run Windows ten. 148 00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:22,960 Speaker 1: At this point, and they're getting few and far between. 149 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:27,400 Speaker 1: So technology just overtakes us. And that's that's part of 150 00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:29,440 Speaker 1: the problem. By the way, I like that Crossfire. That's 151 00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:31,280 Speaker 1: a sharp car, and well. 152 00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:35,960 Speaker 2: My baby is actually in nineteen seventy two Volkswagen Beetle convertible. 153 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:38,600 Speaker 2: That's my baby, and that's my love. And those are easy. 154 00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:40,120 Speaker 2: You can pop out the engine and pop a new 155 00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:40,440 Speaker 2: one in. 156 00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:43,160 Speaker 1: You had me until you said Volkswagon. I'm telling you 157 00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:45,320 Speaker 1: we were going to have this whole thing, but I 158 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:46,640 Speaker 1: just you know, it's. 159 00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:51,320 Speaker 2: But it's a nineteen seventy two Volkswagen Beetle convertible. 160 00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:54,240 Speaker 1: Listen, everybody had one, right, There's there's a lot of 161 00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:56,920 Speaker 1: stories about me and volks Russell my best friend in 162 00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,560 Speaker 1: high school, Russell Right, and we went to the opposite 163 00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:02,840 Speaker 1: high school. He was the Volkswagon and guru and I 164 00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:05,040 Speaker 1: was I was just the muscle.
