POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:LEVER AND LINKAGE:FLOOR SHIFT
CONSUMER COMPLAINED ABOUT HAVING PROBLEMS WITH RECALL REPAIRS THAT WERE PERFORMED ON THE FLOOR SHIFTER. IT HAD ACTUALLY MADE IT WORSE ON THE SHIFTER BECAUSE THE CONSUMER HAD A HARD TIME SHIFTING GEARS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED, AND STATED THERE WAS NOTHING THAT THEY COULD DO. *AK IT WAS DIFFICULT TO PLACE THE SHIFTER FROM REVERSE INTO PARK AND WOULD END UP IN NEUTRAL. *SCC *JB

POWER TRAIN:TRANSFER CASE (4-WHEEL DRIVE)
THE TRANSFER CASE ON THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE UNIT MAKES A "CREAKING" NOISE AFTER IT HAS BEEN DRIVEN FOR MORE THAN 20 MILES. THE NOISE IS MOST EVIDENT ON COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP AND THEN TURNING (EITHER LEFT OR RIGHT) AFTER ABOUT 20 MILES. I HAVE REPLACED THE DRIVE SHAFT UNIVERSALS AND INSPECTED THE CV JOINT IN AN EFFORT TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE ALSO HAD THE REAR TRANSFER CASE SEAL REPLACED, ALTHOUGH IT HAS BEEN LEAKING FLUID AT A VERY SLOW RATE SINCE IT WAS REPLACED BY MY MECHANIC. I HAD TWO DIFFERENT MECHANICS INSPECT THE PROBLEM AND THEY ARE UNABLE TO ISOLATE THE PROBLEM OTHER THAN IT EMANATES FROM THE AREA OF THE TRANSFER CASE. THE VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 65,000 MILES ON IT, A TRANSFER CASE SHOULD NOT FAIL WITH MILEAGE SO LOW.*JB

I APPLIED MY BRAKE, AT A 2MPH TO YIELD TO ONCOMING TRAFFIC, BUT FAILED TO STOP. EVEN WITH SNOW, WITH THAT SPEED, THE VEHICLE SHOULD NOT HAVE HAD ANY PROBLEM STOPPING. AT TIMES, YOU HEAR CRUNCH ON FRONT WHEELS WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED WHILE DRIVING ON SLIPPERY SURFACE, IE SNOW, ICE EVEN AT VERY VERY SLOW SPEED

STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
I COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS BEFORE ON THIS WEB SITE AND THE INVESTIGATION WAS CLOSED FOR THE SECOND TIME. I HAD THIS FIXED AND IT HAS BROKEN AGAIN IN LESS THAN A YEAR! NOW THE PASSANGER SIDE IS STARTING TO CRACK. AS MANY PEOPLE THAT HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE IS FRUSTRATING! THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY PROBLEM. NOBODY HAD CONTACTED ME ABOUT THIS I HAVE PICTURES. I HAVE A CHILD THAT RIDES IN THIS VEHICLE (THIS IS THE ONLY ONE I OWN) AND I FEAR THAT SOMETHING BAD COULD HAPPEN IF CHRYSLER/JEEP IS NOT HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS DEFECT. PLEASE HELP!!!! DT
