I bought my 2005 Jeep unlimited with 6,000 miles on it. I have been to the dealership seven times to have it fixed. My major complaint is it surges out of control when taking my foot off the brakes from a stopped position. It does it in drive and in reverse without warning. The dealership has no solution. I also have a problem with the steering wheel shaking once I hit a small bump in the road,as small as the reflectors that line the middle of streets. There are times the steering wheel shakes so hard that I have to let go of the steering wheel. They have replaced my steering stabilizer arm,I've had the rotors turned I've replaced the brakes. Replacing the stabilizer arm seemed to help for a short time. My other issue with this lovley death trap of mine is when I run the a/c the whole thing bogs down like I'm pulling an eighteen wheeler out of a ditch. The dealership solution was to come in and test drive another Jeep to see if I "actually have a problem". When I take my car to the dealership they keep it for at least two weeks and the problems are still there. My advice to other Jeep owners with these problems is to always take the back roads and always leave a car length of space all the way around your Jeep, and never use the a/c!these problems began at about 10,000 miles and my Jeep just rolled over32,000 miles.
