MY 1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO HAD A NEW DIFFERENTIAL INSTALL EDAT 15,000 MILES; TWO NEW FRONT ROTORS AT 36,000 AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE WAY BEFORE THIS; BACK BRAKE DRUM CRACKED AT 36,000 MILES; FRONT ROTORS REDONE AGAIN AT 42000 MILES; AND NOW THE MOTOR AT 52,000 MILES. WE HAD NOT INDICATION (NOISE, ETC) OF THE MOTOR GOING, I WAS TRAVELING AROUNG 5-10 MILES PER HOUR TURNING INTO OUR ROAD AND IT FELT LIKE SOMETHING HEAVY DROPPED OUT OF THE VEHICLE, IT SOUNDED LIKE METAL GOING THROUGH A FAN. A PIECE OF THE BLOCK FELL OUT ONTO THE ROAD AND THE PEOPLE AT THE LOCAL DEALER SAID THEY HAD NEVER SEEN ANY THING LIKE IT BEFORE. IT WAS LIKE A BOMB WENT OFF INSIDE THE MOTOR. MY QUESTION -- SHOULD CHYRSLER BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS MOTOR, IT WILL BE IN THE RANGE OF $6,000. THANK YOU.*AK

BRAKES VIBRATE AT HIGH SPEED AND CAUSE LURCHING AT LOW SPEED. ROTORS REFACED TWICE AND REPLACED ONCE. NOW PROBLEM HAS RETURNED. AFTER REVIEWING THE NHTSA WEB SITE AND FINDING NUMEROUS OTHER COMPLAINTS, IT IS OBVIOUS THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT BUT A RECURRING PROBLEM ON THIS VEHICLE. IT SHOULD BE FIXED!*AK
