STEERING, SUSPENSION
AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY ALL OF A SUDDEN WITHOUT ANY WARNING THE FRONT END OF MY JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE STARTED SHAKING VERY VIOLENTLY. I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE GAS PEDAL AND TRIED TO SLOWLY APPLY THE BRAKES AND GET THE JEEP OFF THE EDGE OF THE ROAD. IT WAS REALLY HARD TO CONTROL THE CAR BUT I DID MANAGE TO GET IT OFF THE ROAD. I DROVE BACK HOME ON THE EDGE OF THE ROAD GOING ABOUT 30 MPH WITH MY FLASHERS ON. I TOOK MY JEEP TO MY MECHANIC WHO REPLACED THE STABILIZER BAR BUT IT WASN'T LONG BEFORE IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL PARTS REPLACED ON MY FRONT END BUT IT STILL CONTINUES TO HAPPEN. I AM REALLY SCARED TO DRIVE ON A HIGHWAY GOING 55 MPH ANYMORE AND DON'T DO IT UNLESS I REALLY HAVE TO. *TR

I WAS SENT A RECALL LETTER ABOUT A YEAR AGO AND I CALLED SO THAT I CAN HAVE THIS FIXED. THEY TOLD ME THAT AT THE TIME THEY ARE WAITING FOR THE PARTS. I RECEIVED ANOTHER LETTER AGAIN I CALLED AND THEY TELL ME THE SAME STORY THAT THEY DON'T HAVE THE PART. IN THE MEAN TIME I AM DRIVING WITH AN UNSAFE VEHICLE THAT THE AIRBAG CAN DEPLOYED AT ANY TIME. I HAVE ASKED FOR A TIME FRAME AND THEY DIDN'T GIVE ME ONE. I NEED SOMEONE TO HELP ME RESOLVE THIS SITUATION. THANKS *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
AT TWO OCCASIONS THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AS IF THE GAS PEDAL WAS STUCK. THE ACCELERATOR WAS NOT OBSTRUCTED BY ANY CARPET. THE ONLY WAY TO SLOW THE CAR DOWN WAS BY PLACING IT INTO NEUTRAL AND TURN OFF THE ENGINE. AFTER TURNING IT BACK ON IT WAS STILL AT HIGH RPM ~5000. SOME TIME LATER THE PROBLEM RESOLVED IT SELF. AFTER MANY DAYS AT THE JEEP DEALER THE FINAL DIAGNOSIS WAS THAT THE ISSUE CANNOT BE DUPLICATED AND THAT THE DEALER REFUSES TO DO ANY WORK ON THIS CAR. *TR
