1 Clutch Pedal/linkage problem of the 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee

Failure Date: 11/10/2016

11/10/16 I was on a city street, driving in traffic 10 mph , stopped in traffic, waiting to get on the highway for afterwork commute home. Took my foot off the brake to put on gas pedal as traffic was beginning to move, car would not drive, put car in neutral then back in drive, car would not move in drive,, no warning lights came on the dashboard, no lights iluminated. The vehicle had to be pushed into a warehouse parking lot , I called the dealer , the vehicle was towed back to the dealer on 11/10/16, by roadside assistance, I was informed by the dealer on 11/11/16, the transmission went. This is a lease 2016 grand Jeep cherokee that I had for 6 weeks, with 2000 miles on it. Call to Jeep customer service 11/14/16, this is a serious safety issue, in 5 minutes I would have been merging onto a major highway, the transmission just went, no warning . Jeep customer service gave me a case #, called Jeep customer service again, 11/16/16, was told I would hear back in 2 business days, 11/18/16, 2 calls again to Jeep customer service no response. The vehicle is still at the dealer , I was told the clutch in the transmission broke, and the transmission is being replaced. I want this vehicle replaced with another vehicle same type, this is a major safety hazard for a transmission to just let go without warning, in a 6 week old car.

2 Clutch Pedal/linkage problem of the 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee

Our 1999 Grand Cherokee has been experiencing a grinding or thumping sound when turning left. This has just started happening in the past 2 months and doesn't happen when turning right. A loud roar on an initial start up has been happening since the vehicle was new. The clutch fan was replaced once but that didn't help. When this loud roar occurs, the vehicle seems like it is running in low gear. After a few blocks the sound goes away.
