1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

DISC BRAKE ROTORS WARP WITH HIGH FREQUENCY CAUSING 'SHIMMY' DURING BRAKING WHICH CAN LEAD TO LOSS OF CONTROL. TODAY I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN TO THE SHOP FOR THE SECOND TIME WITH THIS PROBLEM. THREE OTHER OWNERS WERE IN THE SHOP TODAY WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. WHEN I CALLEDJEEP'S CUSTOMER SUPPORT LINE, THEY CLAIMED IT WAS JUST A NORMAL WEAR ITEM. NHTSA ITEM # SB602194 UNDERSTATES THE SEVERITY OF THIS PROBLEM AND ITS FREQUENCY. PLEASE FOLLOW UP! THIS SEEMS LIKE AN UNSAFE DESIGN DEFECT.*AK

OUR 1999 GRAND CHEROKEE HAS BEEN EXPERIENCING A GRINDING OR THUMPING SOUND WHEN TURNING LEFT. THIS HAS JUST STARTED HAPPENING IN THE PAST 2 MONTHS AND DOESN'T HAPPEN WHEN TURNING RIGHT. A LOUD ROAR ON AN INITIAL START UP HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NEW. THE CLUTCH FAN WAS REPLACED ONCE BUT THAT DIDN'T HELP. WHEN THIS LOUD ROAR OCCURS, THE VEHICLE SEEMS LIKE IT IS RUNNING IN LOW GEAR. AFTER A FEW BLOCKS THE SOUND GOES AWAY.*AK
