general problems of the 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee

When driving at 45 to 50 mph the front end starts to vibriate and starts to shake uncontrollably,what's really bad is that you don't know when it will happen. I drove from savannah to michigan and back with no problems than when you least expect it than it happens ! it shakes so bad you can't drive so you have to pull off the road and stop and it seems to go away but it may return after another one or two thousand miles. I have brought to shops and have replaced front end parts,brakes,tires etc. They can't find the problem. I have read that it's a disign flaw with the coil springs being in a bad position. Google Jeep death wobble. You will find. I won't sell the car because I wouldnt want to put someone in danger.

Extreme wobble in front end happens when there is a bump in the road. Happens at various speeds. Violent front wheel wobble. Spent $1600 in repairs and $600 on new tires. The issue is still there. I talked to a man today with a Jeep the same model and year as mine and he has had the same problem. I was following him at 45mph and his right front wheel started the wobble and he pulled off the road and I stopped and talked to him about it.

My Jeep is doing several things that is cause for not driving it because it can cause a accident. It does not always just start. I have to move the steering wheel up & down ^ then it will start generally. When driving the Jeep will rev up all of a sudden especially at stop signs. If I didn't have my foot on the brakes I could have caused a accident. Also I would have to keep my foot on the gas or it would die on me. These things have been going on for the last 2-3 months. When I put my Jeep in reverse or in drive it makes a major clunking noise like my trsnsmission is ready to fall out. This clunking noise started when all of the other problems started! I have emailed several websites & have not recieved a response to my problem!! help!!!.

I was driving in a mall parking lot looking for a parking space. I was turning the corner to go down the next aisle and all of a sudden I had no control of the Jeep. As I turned to the left to continue looking for a park, the Jeep was speeding out of control and I was slamming on the brake with both feet and the Jeep just kept accelerating! I was unable to steer away from the vehicles I was heading towards. As I was heading towards the first vehicle that I hit, I was trying to steer away from it and then the Jeep turned to the right and kept accelerating. I ended up hitting four other vehicles ( 5 vehicles total) and finally came to a complete stop after hitting the last vehicle. There is extensive damage to my Jeep and to the other vehicles involved. We have not had the damage accessed yet, so we do not know how much this will cost to fix. I believe my Jeep is totaled. We are thankful nobody was injured and that I am ok, just shaken up a little.
