1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Consumer writes in regards to not being notified about several recall notices.
At any speed or teraine, my vehicle will violently shake out of control!!!!!! it happens randomly, and for the past mont I have been checking on what is causing this as well as the best place to have the repairs done. I also have some other issues with this vehicle as well. The last "shaking" incindent happened while driving over an over pass about 45mph, started praying because I thought that I was about to die! so, wanting the repairs done properly I call a 1-800 Jeep Chrysler number to ask for a certified mechanic. While on the phone I had a feeling to ask about recalls. I was informed of only two (minor) issues. Called the dealership, set an appointment to have the recall repairs done and an estimate of the other issues. I did not end up with both recalls done (they did not feel the converter needed replaced)!!! I declined the price of thier estimate not the repairs! the estimate given roughly totals $3,929. 00! which after checking this website I find that a good part if not all of the repairs may fall under recall!!!! the mechanic I spoke with several times called this "shaking issue" , "the death shake" (and I quote the mechanic, matt) . Chrysler dealership in tahlequah, ok. Yates auto sales.
