I originally didn't consider filing a complaint until I had the third major complication occurred. I've since talked to other Jeep owners with the 4.0 and have found motor mount and transmission failures are more prevalent than they should be. After the third problem (tranny), I began my search on the internet and found this site. It confirmed my suspicions about the substandard materials that DC is using in major components. I tried to reason with a service rep at DC by explaining that I'm a died in wool Jeep fanatic (5 Jeep jams) but she basically told me that motor mounts and tranny problems at these early miles is part of the vehicle ownership package. That may be true at DC, but not at other car makers like Toyota and Ford. This is definitely my last DC product. I'm glad I found this site; I know where to go in the future.
