When stopping from about 50mph vehicle vibrates excessively, also causing the steering to vibrate excessively. Dlr has not seen vehicle. Keyless entery failed.
ABS light, and brake light came on, indicating a brake malfunction. Wiring to the right wheel speed sensor was cut by lower control arm. The vehicle has electrical and suspension problems. Driver and passenger side power windows inoperative. Fuel pump failed. Vehicle is leaking transmission fluid due to pan gasket failure. Fuel is leaking from fuel tank due to defective fuel sending unit seal. ABS light, air bag lights are on and A/C blinkers are not working due to ignition switch looses. Vehicle makes noise due to power steering gear assembly failure.
With braking from 65 to 50 mph, there is a severe steering wheel vibration. It stops and doesn't occur at speeds less than 50 mph. It also does not occur when braking at higher speeds. The onset was insideous, with no known initiating vehicle damage. It has progressively worsened. When contacted, the dealership service department was not concerned, and believed it to be not an urgent or emergent problem. I know of 2 other 1999 Grand Cherokee owners now with the same complaint. Is this a potential safety hazard?

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.
When braking at high speedsjeep wobbles on front right side. Jeep was taken to dealership on August 4, 1999. There, the rotors were either turned/ grinded. Please provide any furhter information.
When driver pressed on the brakes vehicle bounced. Likewise, rotors needed to be changed, also, transmission has been humming within the first 5000 miles. Dealer said transmission needed to be replaced, but they didn't replace it. They just replaced some of the parts.
Rotors warped initially at 3000 miles. Turned twice before replacement at 9000 miles. Then turned twice and replaced at 18,000 miles. Warped again and turned again.
