“I have a 2000 Jeep Cherokee sport 4x4 with no lift kits, etc. At highway speeds when hitting a bump in the road it goes into what is termed a death wobble. This is very searchable on the internet. The vehicle will so violently shake in the front end it is hard to keep it on the road and not roll the vehicle before I'm able to slow down enough for it to rebalance itself. It is extremely terrifying. I've had the tires rotated and balanced thinking I might have lost a wheel weight or something but it did not correct the problem. …”

NHTSA complaint #10233689, filed 2008-07, 69,000 miles“Brakes malfunctioned both right and left rotors were scored and ruined on the inside only. The brakes failed at 33,809 miles. Looking through the wheel from the outside, the outside of the rotors looked good with no unusual wear. The vehicle also had air conditioning problems and needed to have the muffler replaced.”
NHTSA complaint #10097570, filed 2004-10, 33,809 miles“I had to replace my front rotors at 35,000 - chrysler said it's normal wear and tear and wouldn't fix them. There was a problem with a seal on the gas tank. I brought it in for service at least 4 or 5 times before it was fixed. A $2.00 wire broke inside the front door for the front speaker at 43,000 miles and they charged me $200.00 to fix it. The salesman sold me a convenience package that was purported as an extended warranty, but was actually a towing and rental car package.”
