 Description of the problemI have a 2011 jeep grand cherokee overland. The vehicle clunks in the rear end going over bumps at low speeds. Turns out this is due to a defect in the shocks/shock mounts. It only affects vehicles with quadra lift suspension and towing package. Including the originals, i have had 4 sets of rear shocks put on--with 3 individual shocks breaking-which i consider a safety hazard. From reports on jeepgarage. Org, there are at least 12 of us in that small group ranging from 2011 to 2014 model years with this issue. I made 5 or 6 100 mile round trips to the dealer who changed shocks as he was told to by chrysler. They came out with 3 different shock types (#'s) and shock mounts to fix this-no success. Now one of our group with a 2013 jgc laredo has been told that it is "normal to have clunking"-even after he told them that one shock was completely frozen. They also have had 2 or 3 tsb's addressing the problem with ineffective solutions. So now a "problem" is normal. All any of us want is for our shocks to be safe and quiet on vehicles we paid over 40k for. Perhaps you can hold chrysler accountable.
