WE BOUGHT A 1999 GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED JEEP, ALL WHEEL DRIVE. AFTER MANY, MANY UNSUCCESSFUL REPAIRS, I AM STILL UNABLE TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE DUE TO FRONT DRIVE TRAIN AS WELL I CAN?T HEAR MYSELF TALK DUE TO THE WHINING NOISE THE REAR END MAKES. I HAVE DONE EXTENSIVE RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET AND THERE IS WEALTH OF WEB PAGES DEDICATED TO JEEP OWNERS WITH THE SAME EXACT PROBLEMS. IT IS NO DOUBT A FACTORY YET THEY TURN A BLIND EYE. WE ARE LOOKING FOR A GROUP THAT HAS POSSIBLE FILED A CLASS ACTION SUITE, COULD YOU HELP US. WE DON?T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO. *JB

Across model years
Worst on record: 2022Reading this record
No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
