Purchased a 2005 Jeep unlimited may 2005. August 2006 noticed a steering vibration at speeds of 53-55 mph. Dealer said they tightened the stabilizer arm and that the vibration problem was due to tire cupping. They immediately went into rhetoric about proper tire rotation and sent me on my way. I took the Jeep to a different mechanic that said the rack and pinion joint was leaking and the tire problem was do to poor alignment. I contacted the dealer service manager and relayed the new information. She said that Chrysler recommends front end alignment every 12000 miles. The Jeep has 15000 mile currently. The Jeep has never been off road and has only been used to as from work.
The caller says his vehicle starts to vibrate at 55 mph. He thinks this has been going on since he purchased the vehicle. Dealer tried to fix it by replacing a tire, but that did nothing. Dealer and manufacturer said this was normal, and there was nothing they could do to help him. Dealer said everything met specifications. Chrysler, Town & Country.
Contact states while driving approximately 60 mph vehicle vibrated. Everything in the forward part of the vehicle vibrated; including the steering, seat, and foot boards. The service dealer stated this was in the design of the vehicle.
