The driver side seat heater gets so hot or feels like it's burning my legs.. I can only use it on low to prevent burns.. the passenger side does not work at all. (recall #09V117000) if the passenger side door is open, I cannot lock the doors, or put the windows up until it is shut. (recall #01V288000).. periodically when I start the Jeep the air bag light will stay on.. I have to pull over, turn the vehicle off, and repeat the process until it goes back off. (recall #12V527000)

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.
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.

Driving highway speeds, 65 mph, hit a small bump on the road and the steering wheel began to shake violently. I purchased the vehicle new in early 2002 and this was the first incident. Since then this has happened several more time. Suspect a worn steering damper.
While driving vehicle tends to wander all over the road excessively, especially if hit by a crosswind or passed by a tractor trailer. It is very hard for consumer to maintain lane. The tires have been replaced and the alignment has been checked. Dealer cannot diagnose cause of problem.
Purchased November 2001, had two recalls for fuel system within two months, dealer told me there was previous recall fixed before I purchased. Engine safety warning light has come on and stayed on several days on seven (7) separate occasions. Dealer claims not to worry cannot figure out why. Plus seat heater went out and had to be replaced, interior heater stopped working except defrost. I believe they are all related and is why the engine safety warning light keeps coming on. Also to note--vehicle sways back and forth over small bumps, like riding a small boat in rough water.
