general problems of the 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee

1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Consumer writes in regards to not being notified about several recall notices.

Jeep advertises that there Grand Cherokees can withstand water up to 20 inches deep. I beg to differ and I have been lied to. Was driving through my neighborhood on my way to a buddy's house a few blocks away, I hit a small puddle on my way and my engine just seized up and everything went ballistic. Measured the puddle and it was a whopping inch and a half deep. Had my buddy tow me back home to check it out and low and behold, there it was, rod #1 sticking right through my oil pan about an inch. Bent to high hell and sheared right off (note: also noticed the electrical components said "japan" and when I pulled the oil pan and pulled the rod, in big bold letters "china" stamped on the rod") now I have a 6000lb paper weight sitting in my driveway that I can do nothing with. Now if Jeep advertises that their vehicles are safe in water up to 20 inches, why did an inch and a half deep puddle hydrolock my engine resulting in rod #1 being shot through the oil pan and all electronics fried? hmmmm interesting. Also notice how the foreign mass market parts were the only ones to fail. Seems a little fishy. It grinds my gears because I have been a die hard mopar enthusiast since I was born, my father worked for Chrysler from the day he graduated to the day he died and slaved for the company and this is the products they are selling to the american public. I smell bullshit and it pains me to say that I will never ever purchase a Chrysler product for the rest of my days. . . . . . . . Screw Chrysler and their fiat owned corporation. I do not support foreign products in any way shape or form. China and japan= complete crap.
