I purchased a brand new jeep grand cherokee on 4/29/14. On 5/8/14 (694 miles), i noticed black grease all over the inside of the front passenger side wheel.

I purchased my car on 4/5/14 and took it to the dealer on 5/24/14 to have a hitch installed. I received a call from service stating that as soon as they raised my car they noticed that both front axles were "shot". I was told that my car was "undrivable" and by no means could they allow me to take it until the problem was resolved. They gave me a rental.
