Excessive engine knocking with power loss and abnormal driving capabilites. Sounds like bad internals. Suspension causes "death wobble" at cruising speeds. Engine happens anytime engine is running producing large quantities of smoke from tailpipe.

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…

We've trained ourselves to down shift, to slow the vehicle down (it's an automatic). But there are times when we do have to suddenly hit the brake because the down shifting doesn't slow us down enough, and the jeep always goes into the death wobble. Luckily we have not flipped it yet. We've…

My mechanic has replaced the steering are and says there is no equipment problem. I have had my tires rotated, balanced, and aligned. They say there is no tire or alignment issue. The "death wobble" still exists. It appears my only alternative is to get…

Rotor · Suspension
I own a 1999 grand cherokee limited jeep. The front rotor disk has warped due to the heat created when applying the brakes. As a result the steering wheel vibrates violently on the application of the brakes. The rotor & calipers have been changed! When will chrysler help to resolve an issue, which is obviously a manufacturing fault? *tr
