I have a 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee limited that has faulty struts and stabilizer bar. The vehicle is only 4 years old. This poses major safety concerns as it can cause a reduction in the ability to stop in a safe distance as well as the potential for a loss of control over the vehicle. Struts cause a rattling sound and reduction of control while driving. Stabilizer bar makes a creaking noise while vehicle is in motion or at a stop.

As I was driving down the highway all of a sudden without any warning the front end of my Jeep Grand Cherokee started shaking very violently. I took my foot off the gas pedal and tried to slowly apply the brakes and get the Jeep off the edge of the road. It was really hard to control the car but I did manage to get it off the road. I drove back home on the edge of the road going about 30 mph with my flashers on. I took my Jeep to my mechanic who replaced the stabilizer bar but it wasn't long before it happened again. I have had several parts replaced on my front end but it still continues to happen. I am really scared to drive on a highway going 55 mph anymore and don't do it unless I really have to.

The contact owns a 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee. When the contact turns the steering wheel all the way to the right, the inside of the tire would rub against the stabilizer bar. He could hear a growling noise, which alerted him to the failure. The dealer could not find any failures; however, they advised him not to turn the steering wheel all the way. The contact believed that this could not be avoided. The manufacturer informed him to get his vehicle inspected again. He took the vehicle to another dealer and they stated that the front carriage was off center. The dealer adjusted the centering and realigned the front end. After a few days, he turned the wheel again and heard the growling noise. The current mileage was approximately 22,900 and failure mileage was approximately 20,000. Updated 12/11/08. The manufacturer told the dealer to replace the stabilizer bar. Updated 12/11/08.

I have a 96 Grand Cherokee ltd 4x4 with 115k miles. Since it turned 65k miles I have replaced the brake pads and drums 3 times. I have water leaks in the seat belt wells, the passenger side window, and the belts are wet when it rains. Today, water is pooling in the floor of the driver's side. Water pours from just above the accelerator. Must be from a/c?the rear door hatch has jammed in lock position. The electronic mileage/ fuel readout (on ceiling module) fluctuates wildly and is inaccurate. The catalytic converter went out at 64,975 miles. Now have a crack in the exhaust manifold, quoted $1200 by dealer to repair. I have gone through stock 3 radios, tuner problems. Massive a/c problems in past. I paid a non dealer to repair it, the repairs held for 30 days and same problem started again. Then had dealer repair and it was a recall item so was covered after I'd paid for 2 prev repair jobs at $1100 total. The power steering pump went out at 90k miles. Replaced so many other parts, I'd have to refer to the service records for more details. This list is only from memory. Total cost over 3 yrs. . . . Around $4000! OH, and the rear hatch/door paint is faded and dull, totally different from the rest of the car. All black metal painted parts paint is coming off. Has been for couple of years. Also the roof rattle really loud at over 50mph. The power outlet came apart still attached to my phone cord one day. Finally, the front end has some problem with the axle? and will cost approx $700 to repair. I thought I had a lemon until I talked with 3 other Jeep owners, they've had similar problems. Do we have any recourse with Chrysler over these vehicles. . . I am considering involving an attny.
