2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee steering problems

“Taillight on back passenger side won't work, steering has been bad since I had, steering linkage and suspension failing, emergency brake doesn't work, cruise control won't work, oil pressure always reads high, airbag light stays on n seatbelt light stays on if I don't turn key on n let sit for an few seconds before starting jeep, gas pedal sticks , power steering fluid is leaking bad, steering linkage close to breaking heard noise so I pulled over. Also shocks bad, when hit an small bump it sounds like whole front end breaks”

“A FEW INSTANCES HAVE OCCURRED WHERE I WILL BE DRIVING AND THE VEHICLE ENGINE WILL IMMEDIATELY SHUT OFF AS THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS (RADIO, HEADLIGHTS, DASHBOARD, ETC) STILL FUNCTION BUT ALL GAUGES STOP WORKING. I THEN HAVE TO PULL OVER, PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK, AND THEN RESTART THE VEHICLE. IT WILL THEN START UP RIGHT AWAY. ON A COUPLE OF OCCASIONS, THE VEHICLE ENGINE HAS STARTED BACK UP ON ITS OWN WITHOUT ME DOING ANYTHING AND DRIVES FINE AFTER THAT. THIS SEEMS TO OCCUR MOSTLY WHEN I RELEASE MY FOOT FROM THE ACCELERATOR BUT HAS HAPPENED WHEN I AM TRYING TO ACCELERATE. HAS ONLY HAPPENED WHEN DRIVING ON CITY STREETS, NEVER ON A HIGHWAY.”

“EVER SINCE I HAVE OWNED THE 2002 GRAND CHEROKEE VEHICLE THERE ARE TIMES WHEN THE STEERING BECOMES DIFFICULT WHEN APPROACHING A CORNER AND TURNING THE WHEEL.. IT DOES NOT HAPPEN ALL THE TIME. THE STEERING PUMP WAS REPLACED SEVERAL TEARS AGO BUT THE PROBLEM CONTINUES SPORADICALLY AFTER THE REPLACEMENT IT IS NOW HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY THIS IS A ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN I JUST WISH I WOULD HAVE REPORTED THIS SOONER”

“DEATH WOBBLE UNABLE TO STEER CONTROL AUTO AT 30MPH AND ABOVE UNABLE TO REPAIR YET W/OVER $1000. SPENT ON ISSUE FRONT END TOO SENSITIVE UNABLE TO DRIVE. *TR”

“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”
