Front Suspension Hub Problems of Jeep Grand Cherokee

The cv boot at the drivers side wheel failed. Retaining ring holding boot came off causing grease to spill all over inner wheel hub, break caliper etc. I only report it as it could get on the breaks causing a crash. This issue has appeared numerous times across Jeep Grand Cherokee owners with 3/14 and 4/14 build dates as noted in various community forums.

As I pulled into my apartment complex around 5:30am on 8/08/2013, I noticed a loud "thud" sound and my Jeep became stalled in the driveway. I pressed gently on the gas pedal to move my vehicle out of oncoming traffic, but the Jeep wouldn't move and then finally jolted into drive without me pressing on the gas pedal. I was able to coast to a parking spot. The service 4-wheel drive indicator light came on the dash before I shut the ignition off. The vehicle has been serviced appropriately and efficiently over the past 2 years since I purchased it. I called shore tire on 8/9/2013 to set up an appointment for a mechanic to look at my vehicle. I was able to drive the Jeep at 10mph a mile down the road on 8/12/2013 to the service shop. I was informed the parking break had dislodged itself from the shaft, dismantling the rear backing plate system, left rear abs sensor, left rear axle/hub and damaged the rear rotors. I had to pay $1,320. 30 for parts and labor.

The oem nut holding the pinch bolt to the upper control arm in my 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee limited came loose and ultimately fell off. This caused the upper control arm to separate from the vehicle, which resulted in the front driver's side wheel and hub assembly breaking off from the axle while in motion. The vehicle came to a stop with three intact wheels and the driver's side wheel underneath the body. Fortunately, the vehicle was not at highway speed or severe injury or death would have been probable, due to the loss of the entire assembly and the loss of all brake system hydraulic pressure, as the brake line was also severed. The oem nut holding the pinch weld to the upper control arm appears inadequately designed to withstand routine removal and retightening for service such as wheel alignment and suspension adjustments. There appears to be inadequate engineering thought into ensuring, at a minimum, a simple mechanism to securely fasten the nut (e. G. , cotter pin, serrated flange, or other locking feature). This is a severe oversight given the potential danger associated with an upper control arm separation at speed.

99 Jeep Grand Cherokee with engine problems customer states that the rpm's would immediately go up to the 200 or sometimes higher as soon as he starts up the car and also accelerate when the brakes are applied* the consumer stated various parts were replaced, however the problem returned. The consumers wife was driving, when all of a sudden the vehicle started to accelerate on its own, she applied the brakes as hard as she could, however the vehicle continued to proceed in a forward motion. The only solution was to place the vehicle into park. After placing the vehicle in park, the consumers wife placed it in drive again and immediately it started to accelerate uncontrollably. Applying the brakes with full force did not solve the problem. When aaa arrived and started the vehicle, nothing happened.
