THE DISC BRAKES ON THE 1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO ARE THE SAME AS THOSE RECALLED ON THE 1999 JEEP CHEROKEE SPORT (RECALL 00V136000), BUT THE MANUFACTURER IS UNWILLING TO ADMIT TO ANY KNOWN BRAKE DISC DEFECT ON THE LAREDO.

ON SUNDAY CAR AT 45 MPH BEGAN WITH VIOLENT SHAKING AT 45MPH. HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES ON MON. CALLED CAR DEALER WHO REC TIRES GET CHECKED. (TIRES ARE 2 MONTHS OLD WITH 1-2000MILES). TIRE DEALER FOUND A LEAKING STEERING STABILIZER AND REFERED US BACK TO THE AUTO DEALER WHO REPLACED THE STABILIZER AND NOTED THAT THE FRONT TIRES WERE BADLY WORN. THEY STATED THAT THE WEAR WAS NOT CAUSED BY BAD STABLIZER BUT BY BAD TIRES. THE TIRE DEALER CLAIMS THE TIRE WEAR WAS CAUSED BY THE STABLIZER. I AM REPORTING THIS BECAUSE OF THE SIGNIFICANT VEHICLE CONTROL PROBLEM AND TO FIND THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. THANK YOU. (DOT NUMBER: MK9L TIRESIZE: P24570R16)
