Consumer Description

HEARD NOISE COMING FROM REAREND AND TRANSMISSION SLIPPED. TOOK IT TO PETRI JEEP IN SCOTTSDALE, AZ. THEY SAID BEARINGS WERE WORN OUT IN REAR DIFF AND TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REBUILD. OK, THEY FIXED IT, AT 71000 MILES. I THINK THIS WAS WAY TOO SOON. THE JEEP NOW HAS 88000, THE TRANSMISSION IS ACTING UP AGAIN AND THE HUMMING NOISE IS RETURNING. AT 75000 MY EXTENDED WARRANTY EXPIRED. IM NOT HAPPY!!!*AK
