I bought my Jeep used only a year old. I had no problems with it till 2008. I had to replace the blend door in it ($763) of course the warranty wouldn't take care of it. Last winter i went to start it and one of the rods popped off. (WOW) and again the warranty didn't pay. Now this year right before summer, AGAIN, the blend door breaks again, another ($763). My transmission will slip once in awhile so I'm sure that will be next. I have never had a car with this many BIG problems in such a short time. My gosh its only 5 years old.

Too many problems

With 19000 miles on this Jeep I can honestly say that we made a mistake in purchasing it. It's been in the shop twice for transmission problems (one nearly leaving my wife and child stranded), the steering column began coming apart inside and making a horrible cracking sound, theres a persistent leak in the passenger side "A" pillar the dealer can't find, the tire monitoring system says the tires are always low even when their not so it's useless to us, and we got 16 MPG on an all highway 1100 mile trip recently. Chrysler says the 4.7 gets 20 HWY? This is my second (and last) Grand and definitely my last Chrysler product. As soon as it's out of the shop it's sold.

This car is a pile of Sh**! I have had so much electrical problems on this car that i don't even know what to do anymore. Spent so much $ at the STEALERSHIP and still has problems. The dealership loves it when you bring your car in. All they do is plug in the scanning device, read the error code, and tell you how much its gonna cost to replace the part. The error code might not even be the main problem. Ive seen it when error codes start changing after you replace the part that it told you to. Then your down $2-3000s and the problems not even fixed. There could be some kind of computer error and its just punching out random codes. JEEP SUCKS and STEALERSHIP SUCKS! DO NOT BUY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
