I am having a problem with the steering, brakes, and the heat vent. When turning left or right, it makes this awful noise. When applying the brakes, the steering wheel and the front end begins to shake. I took the vehicle to get the brakes changed and they said the pads look fine. When I had the heater on, it was blowing cold air on the passenger side.
Transmission failed while shifting, a loud grinding noise was coming from the front. Consumer was able to maintain control of the vehicle, and drove it home. Consumer had the vehicle towed the same day. Mechanic determined that transmission needed to be replaced. The consumer stated that the transmission needed to be rebuilt. The consumer stated that the vehicle is now having a steering problem.
Vehicle lurches to the right, dealership replaced all rims and tires, thus making the problem slightly better. Mechanic said it was a "design flaw" nothing could be done about it and to call the service manager, the service manager said "all vehicles in colorado drift to the right due to road crowns". My jgc still drifts to the right within 5-10 seconds on all types of roads. I bought this vehicle two weeks ago, it has 800+ miles on it.
The ability for steering control of the vehicle, most notably at highway speeds, is very difficult. The vehicle appears to have a gap of sloppy space in the steering. After driving multiple new 2004 Grand Cherokees I have discovered that this is a common problem, although the degree of gap or sloppiness varies by vehicle.
