The 2001 Jeep just came to a stop while it was being driven on the highway. It had always had engine issues. The front wheel suspension on the passenger side of the 2001 Jeep Cherokee Laredo is bent and while driving it on the street or highway it causes the vehicle to pull to the left and is unstable when driving it on a highway or street. The engine has a knocking sound whenever it is running. The brakes to the vehicle has been slipping and making a grinding noise while driving it. Sometimes the Jeep doesn't want to drive over 70 mph when driving in the highway or street. We have had to replace the brakes because they started smoking while driving on the highway. There is electrical issues with the car as well where the radio doesn't play as well as other electrical parts don't work. My 2001 Jeep has stopped while my husband was driving it on the highway and it is not drivable. I have had to replace the ignition coil and spark plugs many times for many years. There has always been a water leak on the passenger side dripping whenever the car is in motion, coming from the dashboard onto the carpet since the car was purchased. There may be other issues with the 2001 Jeep that I have missed.
The contact owns a 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that while driving 70 mph, the brakes failed while the brake warning light illuminated.

The manufacturer was not notified. The approximate failure mileage was 124,000.
Substandard teves calipers on the front brakes cause brake pedal vibration within 5000 miles. Resolution is to replace the teves caliper with an akebono caliper. This was covered in a tsb, but should have been a recall.
