Consumer Description

RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM, JEEP HAS A HISTORY OF "REAR" PROBLEMS. I WISH I KNEW THIS BEFORE PURCHASING THE VEHICLE. I CAN'T BELIEVE A 3 YR. OLD SUV WITH 52,000 HIGHWAY MILES WOULD NEED AN ENTIRE REAR REPLACED. JEEP IS SELLING JUNK! HOW OFTEN DOES THIS HAPPEN IN OTHER SUV'S? I'M GETTING RID OF THIS VEHICLE AND BUYING A TOYOTA.
