1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee loredo exhibits the following problems: 1) lurch when shifting from park to reverse along with a noticeable 'thump' noise 2) humming noise at highway speed (65-75 mph) that graduated into a sudden 'pop' noise. This issue caused a loud grinding noise which I am now trying to deal with. Dealership informed me that this was a common problem in 1999 and 2000 model year for rear differential due to diffential supplier to Chrysler overtorqueing differential components. 3) driver's side door lock failure

The vehicle experienced multiple problems. The horn failed. The interior lights failed. The door locks were inoperative. The ABS light and the brake light came on and remained on.
