Faults:

Center console armrest, broke, dealer replaced under warranty.

A/C smelled like mildew, my fault, living in Las Vegas I ran my A/C in recirculate mode too often, remedy... dealer put cleaner through the system.

The biggest thing... this is very good info since I went through hell to get it.

My Jeep developed what I would call a clunk, it was there every time reversed out of my driveway, over speed bumps, and anything even hard stops. I took it to one Jeep dealer in town 5 times and each time they told me it was my shocks, or bushing, or the tri-link, or the axle.. Not true... I then took it to the best driveline shop in Las Vegas, and the owner couldn't find the noise... then I took it to 4x4parts on the rack, still no problems could be found... then finally I decided to take it to the other Jeep dealer in Vegas, and told the guy to PLEASE spend extra time on trying to find this problem no other so called "mechanics" could find. And so a half hour later after taking off the rear tires and actually doing what a good mechanic should, the problem was found in the rear differential... My Jeep only had 28000 easy miles on it. All the gears were pitted/binding and bearings shot to hell. The dealer replaced carrier, bearings, and both axle seals bearings, and spacers... Thank heaven it was still under factory warranty. I'm posting this because rear end noise is very common in the Jeep Grand, mine is a limited with quadra-drive.

General Comments:

I loved my 1st Jeep, but wish it felt a little more like it was put together solidly. much better performance after putting K&N intake and Borla Catback exhaust. I'm happy.

General Comments:

I continue to complain to the dealer about jerking when switching gears, they have not been able to recreate the problem. I am concerned that they are waiting until my extended warranty is expired. I will never, ever, ever buy a Chrysler product again. I am so unhappy with the customer service. They are not willing to help at all.
