Description of the problem | 1. After 2300 original miles on odometer, vehicle developed a vibration in "coast" mode (foot off gas, slack in drive train) between about 45 to 30 mph. Dealership has kept it overnite, test driven it, and contacted jeep "engineers" about problem, numerous times over the last 4 years. Dealer can't "duplicate" problem, and "engineers are looking for a solution, with less than a handful of reports on 2011 overland's throughout usa". 2. The dealer service rep once said that a dealership mechanic was working on a similar problem with a limited or laredo model. 3. I bought this jeep new and ordered it with certain options i wanted. I bought it to last me thru my retirement years, being a top rated 4x4. It now has 20,000 miles on it, still has the vibration, and after sporadically checking with the dealership during service or recall work for the past 4 years(!!!!), a solution has not been reached. 4. There's always a "what if" in the back of my mind on what to do in the event i'm at freeway speeds (65-80 mph here) and the drivetrain component (tranny, transfer case, rear axle, drive shaft) that's causing this vibration suddenly disintegrates. 5. Other non-dealership mechanics agree with me on the above listed suspect components based on where i feel the vibration (literally in the seat of my pants). |
