This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
I have a 99 Jeep Cherokee sport. The front end becomes uncontrollable at highway speeds when driven on anything less than perfectly smooth flat roadway surface. Applying the brakes makes the front end shimmy horrible and dangerous. You must slow to regain control, also dangerous on highways. Online research shows this is a common flaw with Jeep that have a coil-sprung front suspension with a track bar or panhard bar, referred to death wobble. This is very dangerous!
Fuel gauge reads empty when tank is full, dealer cannot find problem. Will drive for about 30 miles and then fuel tank will read what it is supposed to. Also terrible shaking in front end when braking. Brakes/rotors all new and replaced still shakes. Fog lamps continuously burn out, dealer states wiring harness. Have had to pay the deductible on this numerous times... like it is my fault they burn out.
Severe vibration was detected coming from the front end, correct rotors. Passenager power windows will not operate with out messing with the window lock button, the problem is intermittent.
While driving in normal weather conditions vehicle pulls to the right, consumer indicates that vehicle cannot be aligned. Could not be aligned because of a defective eccentric ball joint.
