On 08/31/2019 We purchased the 2014 Jeep Trail hawk for the purpose of flat towing behind a motorhome. The dealership was made aware of our intentions to flat tow. Now we are made aware of our need of this part number installed is #68321424 “AB”. Is there any way that we can have the dealer pay for and install the part? ---

We are CarTalk, not LegalTalk. You can try to get the dealer to pay. But I wouldn’t bet on it. ---

The anti death wobble kit. Also found out you need to run a power wire to the Jeep to keep the battery charged, looks like battery only lasts about 3 hours with this kit installed and in “Flat Tow Mode” ---

Did the dealer say they would furnish and install the flat tow kit? If not, then it’s your responsibility. It sounds like it’s an aftermarket (non-factory) accessory. If it wasn’t put in writing when you bought the vehicle, then you’re going to have tough time getting the dealer to buy and install it for you. ---

In this case, “Aftermarket” can mean manufacturer-branded accessories that aren’t available from the factory. For example my car has Ford-branded sport exhaust system, a Ford-branded short shifter, and a set of Ford-branded lowering springs. They are all considered aftermarket parts, even by Ford itself. ---

Ever time I make a deal on a new car, and I do it a lot, there is a form called “we owe; you owe” This lists any additional items that the dealer has agreed to add at the negotiated price. If its not listed, I have to buy it. The sales order also has space to list optional items. I once agreed to a deal including a cargo mat valued at $150. The sales manager said no one had mentioned it to him and it wasn’t included. The salesman ate the cost. If it isn’t listed on what you signed; good luck.
