1993 Jeep Grand Cherokee steering complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 38 of 38, newest first, as owners wrote them.
While traveling about 15mph on a side road steering and brakes lock up. Dealership is aware of problem.
Consumer was traveling approximately 20mph when total steering was lost. Bolts anchoring steering gear box broke due to corrosion. Consumer lost slight vehicle control. Manufacturerwas contacted. Please provide more information.
Viscous coupling was replaced at 47,000 - 94,000 and now needing replacement at 116,00 miles. This item causes vehicle to have hard steering and even stopping vehicle when turning sharply and slow. Making turns now involve backing up unnecessarily and doing 3 point turns instead or simple turning. A very dangerous situation and costly repairing this failure that was unique to 93 vehicles and corrected the next year. Unfortunally, 1993 owners are left to fare for themselves.
While driving, consumer could step on the brake pedal and could feel pedal pulsating, front rotors had to be replaced due to sticking, also seal had to be fixed. *ak consumer states the tie rod ends failed and was replaced.
While driving could hear loud noise coming from shock absorber. It will not hold when driving over a hole. Had contacted dealer. *ak the left front end of the vehicle had vibration due to outer and inner tie rod failures. The seal and the cylinder on the rear left and right failed.
While backing out of parking space with steering wheel turned to right, a very loud noise was heard and steering lost. A 4" bolt with threads sheared off was located on ground under vehicle. A repair shop reported that the entire steering box had separated from the vehicle frame. Of the three steering box attach bolts, one was still holding a portion of a mounting ear that had previously cracked and separated from the steering box; one had sheared at the threads and was missing; and the third had sheared at the threads and located on the ground. This loss of steering at highway speeds could have resulted in fatal crash.
Steering column has rotated which caused cruise control to be on top instead of on side. Contacted the manufacturer, and was informed there were no recalls or technical service bulletins. There should be no problem with steering.
Steering would make noises whenever turning. It would not return to original position afterwards. Took to several mechanics. Was informed by first mechanic it was suspension, and not safe to drive. Another mechanic informed consumer it was gear box causing noise. Also, driver's door came apart at seams, holding it together with a rope.
Steering knuckles worn.
Truck seems to be falling apart after 100,000 - numerous items: speed sensor failed, oil sensor and coolent sensor alway on, even at proper levels, rear door rattles, head gasket starting to go, numerous rattles, engine leakes oil, starting to rust
Power steering leaked at return line fitting on reservoir, fitting on reservoir broken off due to excessive heat that builds up in engine compartment. I have had to replace other plastic components in the engine compartment which have become brittle from seven years of exposure to heat build up within engine compartment. This failure could have caused engine fire, steering fluid was spraying onto exshaust manifold, feel very lucky that I did not have a fire.
Tie rod end at steering box needs repairs. Mjs
