george2kmax- I've been following this topic and the other one that was here for a long time. It seems that every buy-back that Chrysler has made includes a GAG ORDER!! No wonder these two JEEP topics got so quiet! I knew something was up. Everyone is gagged! I wonder if this is normal procedure for ALL car company buy-backs? I know just the person to ask, IF he'll tell me. I'll let you know what I find out. fastdriver |

Bob, Of course I know that you have been following this topic for a long time, we corresponded many times. In fact if I recall, when I wrote that I got my buy back you were one of the first to congratulate me. By the way I did run my Jeep vin # 2 months after my buy back and it did come back as a lemon buy back. You should be getting ready to turn in your almost lemon 300M. Did you decide what you will repace it with. I know it will not be a Chrysler product. BTW Thanks for all the great Zaino advice. My Maxima looks great after using Zaino. George |

george2kmax- What was your old screename- if you can divulge it without violating the "gag order"! LOL.... There are some really interesting articles on some hearings that the FTC held several years ago RE" buybacks/lemons. A lot of it is doubletalk from the manufacturers. None the less- interesting. Check it out when you have time- http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/lemon/index.htm Since your Jeep was a BUYBACK VS being labeled a LEMON, you wouldn't find anything by checking the VIN. They just shipped it to another state, put it in an auction, and sold it to the next unsuspecting chump!  )Glad things turned out okay for you. As for my next car- I think I'm going to get a Buick Regal GS with the supercharged engine like I had on my 96 Riv- the car I had before Christine. The owners in the Regal forum seem pretty happy with their cars. At least it reads nothing like most of the Chrysler topics! Ah Zaino- isn't it great! The other day, I FINALLY took my car to the car wash- non-touch. Came out, wiped it off and it looked like I just Zainoed it! I haven't applied anything since the weather turned frigid here in CT. My car always looks great. BTW- what color MAX did you get? fastdriver |

This topic was very helpful to me as I was selecting a new car...I picked up my '01 jgc laredo 4x4 v8 last week and have 300 miles on it. I hope I do not have the horror story experience of several of the above members, so I intend to occasionally post updates on how this jeep performs. Hopefully this will provide another viewpoint for folks still making their decisions on which vehicle to purchase. thus far this is my experience, I absolutely love it (but of course it is brand-new so why wouldn't I!). For those of you who have complained that it drives like a truck- take it from someone who has driven a Dodge ram 4x4 club cab for the last 5 yrs that it doesn't! The ride is very smooth but it is of course still a 4x4...you cannot expect to have everything in one vehicle. I had no problems w/ the dodge so I had no fears about buying another chrysler product. I have noticed a very slight whine when accelerating through 40mph but it only lasts about a second- and I probably would never have noticed it if I hadn't been reading the above posts. So far so good but I am only at 300 miles. I will try to post updates occasionally but in this case no news can be considered good news- believe me, if this jeep starts to become a lemon the whole world will know it! thanks again to the jeep lovers and haters above for the great information |

I am the guy who started the "Class Action Suit" topic here. The agreement when Chrysler bought back my JGC was that I will not discuss the DETAILS of the settlement. Which is fine with me. I may discuss the problems I have experienced. These are anyway well documented over numerous posts in this and other topics. For prospective buyers: Be aware of the potential problems you may be getting yourself into. They do not seem to have been resolved entirely. I am very happy with my Subaru. It takes me everywhere I want to be at a fraction of the gas costs, with more comfort and safer. Daniel |

Hi Guys, I'm approaching 25,000 miles on my Jeep and I'm very pleased with it. At first, as I have mentioned before, I had the drivetrain replaced twice. The third one is working fine. I know there have been folks, as Dsackman, who had a bad one. Every few days while reading the paper, I can rarely find a '99 Jeep Ltd. for sale. I know the Mercedes place down the street where I bought my '00 E430 sport has one. And they have had if for a while. It looks just like mine---Platinum--Agate leather. I found out they are asking $30,000 for it with 17,000 miles. That really seems high so that's why it's still there I'm sure. But the point I was making is, is that Jeeps are not being dumped on the market. Apparently, there are some happy Jeep owners such as me. If I start having trouble, I'm sure I'll be singing a different tune. By the way, this is my second Jeep. (previous '96 JGC ltd. 2x4 six) Happy Jeeping! |

dsackman- WHY do you think Chrysler places a GAG ORDER on the DETAILS of the buyback? Do you think it's because EVERY buyback is different and if the sucker, I mean customer, doesn't know about all the things they can be reimbursed for, then Chrysler won't have to shell out more then they have to? I still find this VERY difficult to fathom. WHAT can they do to you IF you UNGAG yourself after all is said and done? Sue you? I'm glad I never went this route with my Christine because I would find it VERY difficult to keep my mouth shut! At least now I can say what I want, when I want, where I want, without being gagged. I know many in the 300 topic wish I was gagged and MAYBE even bound! LOL....... C'est la vie. Take the good with the bad. Christine will be history soon!! fastdriver |

| cant imagine why chrysler would want to make the best deal for themselves during a buyback...maybe because they are in business? If this is wrong of them to do, then their stockholders would probably disagree. Is "christine" your car? My jeep has a name too...it is "jeep" or sometimes "the jeep" | |
