Steering wheel rubs and shakes when turning at low speeds. Loud rubbing sound like dragging your finger over a balloon. Causes difficulty steering and is dangerous in parking lots. This is an ongoing problem and daily occurrence with the vehicle. I've owned two other Jeep Grand Cherokees - a 1999 model and a 2000 model in addition to the 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee I'm having this problem with. They all had this issue.
Steering wheel starts shaking violently while driving down the rode at 50-60mph. This happens at random with no warning, forcing you to pull off the road to avoid losing control. Have taken vehicle in to try and determine the problem and this has not been determined. This is still occurring and have seen numerous reports on the internet about this problem. Also one state is attempting to file a class action suit over this problem. I have contacted Chrysler and they have documented my complaint about this problem. Also they seems to be a problem with the electric windows in these vehicles, the rotor fails and the window will cannot be put up or it will go down by itself. Have had 2 window rotors replaced within one week.
