Brakes pulsate when applied at high speed, steering wheel shakes when brakes applied. Repeated calls to jeep consumer relations results in their denial of a problem, other than wear and tear, and that the warrenty will expire and coverage of the brake components ending.

Brake pulsation & noise. Also braking over bumps causes pedal drop to floor, loss of braking.
[email protected] : problems=steering, fueling, tran. Slips 2nd-3rd,won't start, brake pulsation,shift to reverse loud clunk noise.
Front brake rotors are to thin, causing them to warp under heat. Rotors have been replaced three times.
This vehicle exhibited strong brake pulsation when stopping. Manufacturer refused replacement of rotors, and turned rotors while on hubs of vehicle. Pulsation has now returned.
99 jeep grand cherokee has been in shop 5 times (current mileage:7500). I have had clattering/noises with sharp turns (transfer case fluid, then case itself, then pump replaced); gear whining noise chrysler is blaming on the dana corp. My dealer "unable to fix problem as necessary tools are on back-order"; vibration when applying the brakes attributed to a warped rotor (per tsb); problems with keyless remote entry and slow refueling, something leaking from front end. Many other owners are having similar problems as evidenced by the multiple complaints on internet message boards (yahoo.com; jeepsunlimited.com) chrysler seems to be stonewalling on most of these problems, especially the dana corp. Rear-end problem. I'm very frustrated after having spent $38,000 on this vehicle!
No summary listed for this vehicle.
The automatic transmission failed and had to be replaced after about 6000 miles. There is a lot of noise from the rear, sounds like it is coming from the differential or axle. It is loud enough to be heard over the radio. The front rotors appear to be warped. When braking at highway speeds, the steering wheel shudders. It does not feel safe.
I had a severe vibration if braking over 50mph. The dealer resurfaced but not replaced the front rotors. The problem improved but is not 100% resolved. I feel unsafe driving with resurfaced warped rotors that the dealer refused to replace because crysler will not authorize it.
Strong vibration in steering wheel column when brake is applied firmly at high speed. Driver side windows fails to operate. Defective wiring harness in rear door causes warning chimes when going over bumps or making sharp turns.
Brake calipers are defective causing damage to the rotors and pads. Mjs
