Jeep had a problem with 2000 Cherokees with 2.5 that they were pretty
quiet about (my wife has one) They had a resonance problem with
exhaust that they fixed with a new muffler design but they did not
recal it or talk about it and only changed it out if you complained
about it enough under warranty. It might be a issue here that they are
trying to pass off as SOP.
