NHTSA Complaint #758554 — 2000 JEEP CHEROKEE

VEHICLE HAS A "WOBBLE" IN THE FRONT END AT SPEEDS FROM 51MPH UP. THE FOLLOWING COMPONENTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED AND THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. FRONT STABILIZER SHOCK, ALL FOUR TIRES (TWICE) ALL FOUR RIMS-WHEELS, BOTH AXLES, AND NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS TO CORRECTLY ALIGN THE TIRES. THE PROBLEM DEVELOPED IMMEDIATELY UPON PURCHASE AND WAS SERVICED WITHIN ONE WEEK OF DELIVERY. I MOVED LAST YEAR AND THE JEEP DEALER IN STAUNTON, VA. STATED THAT THE JEEP ENGINEERS ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND ARE TRYING TO FIGURE IT OUT. THIS IS THE SAME THING I WAS TOLD ALMOST ONE YEAR AGO AND THEY STILL DON'T KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. I ATTEMPTED TO HANDLE THIS THROUGH ARBITRATION, HOWEVER, AS I TRAVEL A LOT, JEEP TOLD ME MY VEHICLE WAS OUT OF THE ORIGINAL FACTORY WARRENTY AND EVEN THOUGH I PURCHASED THE SIX-YEAR, 100,000 MILE EXTENDED WARRANTY, THEY DENIED ANY CLAIM I MAY HAVE AGAINST JEEP. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE CONTINUOUS WOBBLING WILL NOT ONLY SPEED UP TIRE WEAR, BUT OTHER COMPONENTS MAY VIBRATE LOOSE.*AK
