| 2000 | SUSPENSION:REAR | OUR 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE HAS BEEN HAVING REAR END PROBLEMS FOR THE PAST 1 1/2 YEARS. IT STARTED AROUND 45,000 MILES AND WE HAD A CERTIFIED MECHANIC "PATCH IT UP IN NOVEMBER OF 2003. HE SAID IT WAS A REGULAR PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES AND WE WOULD NEVER HAVE THE NOISE GO AWAY. THE NOISE HAS GOTTEN WORSE AND THE DEALERSHIP TOLD US NOT TO DRIVE THE JEEP ANYMORE BEFORE MAJOR REPAIRS ARE DONE ON THE RING AND PINION GEARS AND PIONION BEARINS, A COST OF $1200. WHY ARE THESE VEHICLES NEEDING THIS MAJOR WORK DONE AT ALL, MUCH LESS AT 45,000 MILES ANE NOW 80,000? THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL AND FIXED BY THE MANUFACTURER - OBVIOUSLY THIS IS NOT NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR - SUBSTANDARD PARTS OR WORKMANSHIP HAVE TO BE INVOLVED.*AK |
