Description of the problem	With only 10,500 miles on our leased 2005 jeep grand cherokee limited- the vehicle has spent the last 27 days in a service repair center. The issues began with a rough transmission, car sticking in 3rd gear - "limp mode" (required car to pull over, park & restart to disable limp mode), ac getting hot on acceleration with strong chemical smell, greasy oil leak on inside of cabin out of hood release opening, excessive road noise, check engine light remained on, and easy entry/exit seat not functioning. According to my ten page invoice, the service center replaced the rear drive shaft, entire transmission, almost all the modules (one of which was already replaced for fog light recall), updated firmware, a kick panel and trim on the inside of the cabin that was stained from grease leak, balanced all 4 tires, power flushed, replaced sensors... Amongst other things. My husband and i were informed that the ac unit was leaking into the transmission, that it was a very common problem with the jeeps, 300s and dodges. So serious, in fact, that chrysler may be considering a mass recall to remedy a gross oversight on their part to physically bend a dip stick to fit parts around it- causing a gap at the base of the rubber gasket that enabled water to enter trans (thro wiring harness). It took the service center 45 minutes to explain all the issues with our car & what was done to it to fix it. We've contacted a lemon law lawyer & are looking to take this to the highest level possible. For $40,000 we expect a lot more for our money!! Fyi... Trans still rough after all repairs!!!! *nm
