A couple things - the Dealership doesn't care about you or 'your' car anymore. The payments are made to a different company than them, and trying to return it to them just means they have another opportunity to sell it at more profit. NOW:

First, take a step back and breathe. Car issues are no fun, but trying to get out a lease early can put you in loads of debt.

  1. calmly and coherently, type out each individual problem you have, with records of when service happened. Have someone proof read this, because whether its emotions or not, your post is jumbled together and emotional people wont get very far when dealing with the next step.

  2. reach out to the parent company. Do this via email first, and if you are not getting anywhere, start putting them on blast via social media. This should get the attention of the regional or national reps who will work to help solve this problem, either with free service/repair or more.

  3. if this doesn't work, look at your lease contract and review what the residual value is at the end of your lease. This is what you owe at the end, now see how much you have left on the loan.

  4. check to see if Jeep allows you to sell the lease to 3rd parties. IF they do, you may be able to sell it to a carmax or the like.

IF you do go that route, make sure at the very minimum you are being covered for the lease buy out. e.x

IF you have $40,000 left on the car, with a residual value of $25,000 - that means you really should be selling it for $40,000 to break even. Depending on how many miles you've put on the car will dictate how much they will buy it for.

At the very least, you need to stop driving the car to avoid adding unnecessary miles.
