1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee steering complaints
Page 3 of 3: complaints 41 to 53 of 53, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Was at a dead stop and was rearended. Passenger's rear shoulder belt failed to hold occupant, but lap belt held.
None of these things have been fixed to date. Dealer was given 2 chances and kept saying they could not see anything. Took to another dealer & they said drive shaft, brakes, pinion & gear, back glass all needed replaced. Would not work on vehicle because of dealer fraud. Bought oct. 1999 new. Had been in service since sept. 1998. Did not want to get involved. No safety defect listed in the summary.
Several dealerships have not been able to resolve problem. Front tires are grinding away the interior wall of the wheel wells. Tire is now grinding on steel chasis and beginning to erode itself. Chrysler has no solution after 6-8 visits for repair in 4 months. Mechanics recommend the car not be driven until a solution can be found due to safety reasons...in the meantime I have purchased a new vehicle I can not drive and neither the dealership nor chrysler will replace the defective vehicle.( dot number: tire size: 245/70/r16 )
Whenever coming to a stop, vehicle would jerk forward. Would have a whistling noise while driving. Vehicle would stall out. Also, there's a slight delay when starting vehicle & then another slight delay after shifting into drive. Took vehicle to mechanic & was informed the problem was with rack and pinion steering& needs to be corrected.
When driving less than 10mph steering intermittently locks up either turning left or right. Dealer couldnt duplicate on 4 previous visits. Resently had 2 near misses in intersection due to steering lockup. Steering will become released when I apply maximum strength. I am really scared for my family.
Steering stiff, pulls hard right, then left, won't track straight on flat road.

The steering in this 1999 grand cherokee jeep has major flaw associated with making tight turns. Whenever we try to make a tight right or left turn the steering wheel shakes violently with a total loss of steering control.
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!
The steering (due to the quadra-drive system) made the vehicle feel as though it was on a very bumpy highway. I went to the dealership and test drove an identical vehicle and experienced no problems. I, then, took the vehicle to the service department whereupon they told me it was all a "minor" problem, though the "check engine" light appeared on the way to the dealership and after the vehicle had supposedly been fixed. The dealership in question attributed this warning to a vapor leak. The vehicle had been this way since it was purchased.
Consumer purchased vehicle in november 98, and has taken vehicle to dealership four times in four months for steering noise due to rack and pinion steering failure. Dealership replaced steering pump/gear box, and rack and pinion. Vehicle has been at dealership for one month for repairs. Jeep manufacturer is aware of the problems, and sent a representative to new jersey to look at vehicle . Representative has not found a remedy for this defect. Jeep-800‑334‑9200----reference #5514019.
Involves "quadra-drive" system-extreme noise starting at 45mph-increases in volume with increased speed
