general problems of the 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee

The contact owns a 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee. While pulling into the driveway, the vehicle failed to reverse. The contact exited the vehicle and noticed that the front wheels were pointing in two different directions. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the tube that connected the tie rod to the front end by the driver and passenger side wheels was rusted and fractured. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was 196,000.

Jeep had the dreaded "death wobble" many parts failed and needed replaced multiple times within 30,000 miles of highway driving at safe speeds. Tires were properly inflated and alignment was correct.

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!!!.

1-I bought the Jeep 4/2008. A couple of months after, a window stopped working. I got the regulator fixed. Soon after that, another window stopped. I got that one fixed. Every time I get one fixed another breaks. Now I have 2 windows not working. 2-whenever I turn a corner, it sounds like the wheels are scraping against something. 3-soon after I bought the Jeep, whenever it gets wet and I turn corners, there is a sound coming the front like its the axle or something. I have taken it to several people/dealers and no one can find out why. They test drive it and hear it, look underneath and still cant find out why or where the sound is coming from.

While driving 40 mph and without warning vehicle will vibrate violently. Dealer has been notified, and has also repaired vehicle 3 different times. However, vehicle is out of warranty. *akdealer wanted consumer to have after market parts put on at consumers expense. Every time vehicle has been in for repair, the mechanic claims they found the problem but the vehicle still vibrates.

When cutting wheels sharply while driving vehicle vibrates badly. Vehicle taken to dealer 3-4 times, cannot fix problem.

Vehicle has been in to dealer three times already for rotors, and problem still occurs, vehicle shakes when brakes are applied. Contacted dealer. Consumer states noise from right front of console. The air conditioner does not cool enough due to leakage.
