Daimler Chrysler has been aware of these problems, been on tsb software, but no recall but I have been continued to be mislead and now, I will proceed with either the lemon law or arbitration at this point. For a vehicle that cost $33,000 you would not of expected these types of problems, and when they occur Chrysler should own up to its responsibilities and fix the issues, customers have been misleard in thinking there getting a reliable and dependable vehicle and with this last problem I have encounter, there needs to be some justice and compensation for what I have to pay out, but yet I continue to pay my monthly payments.no safety defect mentione din summary.

99 Jeep Grand Cherokee has been in shop 5 times (current mileage:7500). I have had clattering/noises with sharp turns (transfer case fluid, then case itself, then pump replaced); gear whining noise Chrysler is blaming on the dana Corp. My dealer "unable to fix problem as necessary tools are on back-order"; vibration when applying the brakes attributed to a warped rotor (per tsb); problems with keyless remote entry and slow refueling, something leaking from front end. Many other owners are having similar problems as evidenced by the multiple complaints on internet message boards (yahoo.com; jeepsunlimited.com) Chrysler seems to be stonewalling on most of these problems, especially the dana Corp. Rear-end problem. I'm very frustrated after having spent $38,000 on this vehicle!
