Consumer Description

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
