Faults:

I have a 2000 jeep cherokee sport, thought it was my dream car. after my warranty everything seemed to go wrong. after reading all the comments I don't feel like I am making it up. I too have the same death wobble. it all started a year ago, with just a bump. I would hit a bump the right way and my steering wheel would shake uncontrollably. I took to dealership they said it was a steering wheel damper. As of this year the wobble has become consistent. thankfully I have a mechanic for a husband, not with jeep, he put new stabilizer, drag link, and track bar. Still not fixed, so next guess new tires. We will see and I will inform.

Faults:

I have replaced the exhaust twice.

I had to replace the radiator, under warranty.

Minor rust here and there on the door panels.

My front bumper has rusted completely.

General Comments:

This car has been terrific. I also put a 3 inch lift on it and have 31 inch tires on it. I love the look and it handles as a lifted vehicle would. The only problem for me is gas mileage due to the lift. That is why I am looking at selling it. At first I didn't like how it rode stock, but than I really gave it a try and it grew on me. The seats are comfortable and for the price I paid I definitely got my moneys worth. Probably the best engine made. These straight six engines are very reliable. I had to replace the fan belt after 149,000. Overall I think this car is great for what you pay. Its cheap, but reliable.

Faults:

Death wobble in both my 1989 and 2000 Cherokee.

Both triggered at speeds over 40 mph.

The 89 could be triggered at speeds alone and the 2000 is typically triggered by hitting bumps.

Problem not solved, but based on entries, very prevalent.

General Comments:

This car has been a nightmare.

Unable to fix the problem in the 1989 Cherokee limited, it was sold for parts.

Thinking it was a fluke problem, like idiots, we got a 2000 Cherokee sport and the same terrible vibration exists today.

Faults:

Violent front end shaking and vibration b/w 48 and 55mph. Nothing works to fix it. It must be the actual wheel balance coming out of the manufacturers. Don't brake hard at this speed or it's all over!

Front Hood latch freezing up. (You must WD-40 every couple weeks to avoid this problem. Grease up all latches and center of under the hood! Trust Me!)

Serpentine belt wears out unusually fast.

General Comments:

I love the vehicle except for the front end vibration. I've given up on fixing it. U-joint appears to be going and will need to fix that. A/C doesn't work and front left speaker blown. Went through one serpentine belt already. No other major issues that needed fixing. Bought it used from a dealer and have had it for 2 years. The vibration scares me. Won't let my wife drive it because of this. Probably will not purchase another Jeep becasue of it.

Jeep drives like a car when I want it to and an SUV when I need it to, which is nice. I haven't had the ignition problem yet. I use the factory keys which appears to be the solution. Copies appear to stick.
