TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE EXPERIENCED LOW VISIBILITY BECAUSE THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WOULD NOT PROPERLY CLEAR THE WINDSHIELD. ADDITIONALLY, WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH AND DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL SHE NOTICED AN ABNORMAL NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE WOULD SWAY WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 92,000.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
AFTER TAKING MY NEW JEEP INTO DEALER BECAUSE THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT CAME ON, I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WERE 16 STORED CODES BUT THEY COULD FIND NO PROBLEM AND THE COMPUTER WAS RESET. TWO DAYS LATER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AGAIN CAME ON. I TOOK BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD "THERE IS A LEAK IN THE FUEL TUBE" WE HAVE TO REPLACE IT BUT WE WILL HAVE TO ORDER THE PART; WE DON'T HAVE IT IN STOCK. I WAS TOLD "IT IS SAFE TO DRIVE"...A LEAK IN THE FUEL TUBE-WHAT THE HECK IS LEAKING-IS SAFE. OK, BUT TWO TRIPS TO THE DEALER WITH LESS THAN 2,500 MILES IS A BIT MUCH. I HAVE A 2006 JEEP, SAME MAKE/MODEL THAT HAD 1ST MAJOR REPAIR (WATER PUMP) AT 145,000 MILES....SO MUCH FOR IMPROVED MODELS. I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT THIS IS A HARBINGER OF FUTURE ISSUES. *TR
