THE REAR CARRIER BEARING IN MY 1996 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE IS BAD....THIS WOULD NOT BE A PROBLEM BUT I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY MANY DIFFERANT MECHANICS INCLUDING THREE LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALERS THAT THIS IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED. I REPORTED EARLIER THAT IT WAS A PINION BEARING , THAT WAS IN ERROR, IT IS THE REAR CARRIER BEARING. WHAT CAN I DO TO REPORT THIS TO CHRYSLER CORP AND IS THERE ANY INFO YOU CAN GIVE ME TO ASSIST MY PROBLEM.
