Well, in that case, stay away from GM too. We have 2 of our GM vehicles drop transmsiions in the last couple years and my parents Regal with less than 90k miles is totally out of commision right now and we can't figure out what is wrong with it, but it is something electrical (turn the key to on, the car does not start, the shifter will not shift out of park, all the dash lights start blinking the fuel pump wtsarts whirring and doesn't stop and the air conditioner turns itself on, WTF????). This has convinced me to never, and I mean NEVER to give GM another chance. My Grand Prix before 100k, both front hubs, sway bar, multiple brake issues (including brakes that would not take effect when it was wet and other times when you push the brakes you get mush and not much else). Not to mention interior parts falling off, between 110 and 130k, the transmission failed, the AC stopped working, the window switch on the driver's side quit working, the molding on the outside was coming loose, would go out to it and try to start it and the battery would be dead (even after a new battery), the rear speakers only worked intermittently (since I got it), just so much more than I wanted, so I feel your pain, but it took 3 bad examples before i gave up and never considered GM when I was looking for a new vehicle. Of course i had a 96 Caprice I had bit over 100k and was basically flawless except for the red coolant stopping up the heater lines. I hope this Jeep does good, so far only issues are a buzzing speaker and a missing center cap at 3500 miles, going to the dealer hopefully next Friday to get those taken care of when the oil is changed. I feel your pain, but i think your experience as far as transmission issues is the exception and not the rule. i hope so anyways......
