| Description of the problem | I have a redesigned 2005 jeep grand cherokee purchased in jan 05. Since that time i have noticed a significant amount of paint chipping on the on the lower body area just in front of the rear wheels. I have owned two prior jeeps (96, 94) and never experienced this problem. Factory rep says it is in the design of the vehicle and refuses to do anything about it. Have noticed problem on other 2005's as well. *nm |
