Our 99 jeep grand cherokee is 4 months old and is nothing but trouble; the transfer case was replaced, the car makes a grinding noise at highway speeds and the dealer thought the replacement of the transfer case would solve the problem. It didn't however. Furthermore the gear oil had to be replaced because the car would buck and even stall sometimes when I would make tight turn. Furthermore the transmission is sometimes clunking. Our power window needs a new motor. The car keeps on pulling to the right and that still hasn't been fixed. We have been very disappointed and wish the lemon law would be a little bit more protective of consumers than car dealers and manufacturers.
1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee visibility complaints

Consumer was driving approx. 5 MPH when backing out of drive way and backed into another vehicle, consumer says ther rear glass is to dark, for correct visiability. The glass is super tinted. (private tinting) the VIN.# registers super tint, and consumer inquired about tint at time of purchased. Chrysler says tint meet fmvss.
Strong vibration in steering wheel column when brake is applied firmly at high speed. Driver side windows fails to operate. Defective wiring harness in rear door causes warning chimes when going over bumps or making sharp turns.
Showed distorted windshield to dealer on 4/8/99, who said he would contact chrysler.
The wiper blades stiffen and lose contact with the windshield, except at the ends, at temperatures below 30 f. The blades will not even clear water from the windshield. Stopping and cleaning the blades only works for a few minutes. In order to see where you are going, you must look through the bottom of the windshield. I have been driving in identical winter conditions for over 20 years with subarus and my other jeep and have only experienced this type of problem under extreme conditions. I feel that this is a serious safety problem that jeep needs to address. The dealer says that nothing can be done unless they have a tsb.
