| Four times in the last year, the vehicle when traveling over 50mph, develops what online research describes as death wobble. the steering wheel vibrates suddenly in your hands, the front end wobbles and it is difficult to control. slowing down below 50mph usually resolves the issue...but that is an unacceptable solution. seems to happen when the vehicle is warmed up and has traveled 20+ miles. a major national tv channel has produced a news article about this with film of the vehicle during the death wobble. we believe that congress has asked jeep about this issue previously. the jeep company in our town suggested rotating tires and checking brakes. they claim to have never heard of this issue, however there are lots of online complaints. in addition to lots of complaints, there's been lots of money spent on lots of parts and labor to fix the issue. everyone seems to have a different opinion as to what the problem and solution are. even though there are only 45000 miles on the vehicle, it cannot be trusted to provide a safe journey. we are disappointed with the company and vehicle. hoping for a recall soon! (on a side note, a neighbor of ours has also experienced this same issue with his jeep. if we are aware of 2 people with the same issue, it has to be a major issue with the vehicle.) please help. thanks. | |||

| The car stalls randomly while drivingthis can happen in heavy traffic in the middle of the road or at a stop sign without warning. have seen several mechanics. when searching the problem, found 100's of other vehicle owners with the same complaint. enormous safety hazard for driver as well as other on road vehicles. | |||

| Auto had 40000+ miles when i bought it from my brother. i had it only a few months when it stalled on the interstate. it would not start until i sat for a little while. i am capable of overcoming auto trouble so i didn't think much about this incident due to the fact that i have been a mechanic for many years now. then it began to stall in heavy traffic and sometimes would start again and other times after waiting several minutes. i replaced the crank sensor, in-tank fuel pump and filter. it ran okay for a while but began to hard start and stall again about 2 mos. ago. then 2 days ago it stalled something like 25 times coming home from the hospital. since then i have been on the internet reading the blogs about this problem and if everyone that has this issue would email you, your computers would shut down. it is unbelievable that the manufacturer is just replacing the expensive parts at random, taking the money and not fixing the problem. these people, myself included, are begging for a solution to a problem with a very nice automobile made in america by skilled top dollar union labor. it is getting close to scam epidemic. my car is sitting in my garage not fixed because there are about ten different things in the electrical and fuel system that can cause these symptoms. i am a disabled veteran and cannot afford to go down that eliminating process. my doctor doesn't do me that way and i won't allow the manufacturer to do it either. | |||

| I went into jim brown auto sales on friday 1/29/2011 to purchase a vehicle. the sale representative joe zeller advised me that of the list of cars i brought in the 1999 jeep grand cherokee was the best one. while processing paper work. i asked joe zeller for a copy of the vehicle report. he acknowledge but never provided the documentation. i drove the vehicle to an near by auto shop (m-l) to have the vehicle looked at. on the way to m-l i heard the car knocking. i was advised that there are numerous issues with the vehicle. being the front drive shaft, transmission, and tranfer case. i advised the seller once i found out. i was told by the person who picked up the phone that i will be called back regarding this matter. no one called. on wednesday, february 1, i drove to brakeway to have the brakes looked at because the lights came on. brakeway advised the same issues as m-l. i took the vehicle back to jim brown auto and requested the truck be looked at. they accepted the truck but refused to look at the issues that were pointed out. i just need some justice regarding this vehicle. | |||
