MY 1999 JEEP CHEROKEE UNI-BODY FRAME IS SO RUSTED OUT UNDERNEATH IT IS A HAZARD TOO DRIVE, THERE IS NOTHING ELSE WRONG WITH IT. SPECIFICALLY, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, CONTROL ARMS ARE RUSTED OUT AND DETACHED AND FRAME IS SO RUSTED THEY CAN NOT BE REATTACHED. IT SEEMS IT IS VERY COMMON FOR JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE UNI-BODY UNDER CARRIAGE TO RUST OUT AND BECOME A HAZARD WITH CONTROL ARMS DETACHING AND VEHICLE BECOMING UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THIS IS PREDOMINANTLY A PROBLEM IN NORTHERN PART OF US. HOWEVER, THESE ARE VEHICLE PEOPLE BUY TO DRIVE ON BAD ROADS SO THEY SHOULD NOT DETERIORATE AND BECOME A DANGER TO DRIVE. CHRYSLER SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO RECALL THESE JEEPS AND WELD IN NEW FRAME RAILS AND OTHER SUPPORT AND REATTACH DETACHED SUSPENSION AND OTHER NECESSARY EQUIPMENT.

I WAS DRIVING AT 50 MPH AND THE VEHICLE STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY AND I HAD TO SLOW DOWN AND PULL OVER BEFORE THE SHAKING WOULD STOP. ANOTHER TIME I WAS DRIVING AT 50 MPH AGAIN AND HIT A SMALL BUMP AND THE VIOLENT SHAKING AGAIN OCCURRED. AGAIN I HAD TO SLOW DOWN CONSIDERABLY BEFORE IT STOPPED SHAKING. THIS IS KNOWN AS DEATH WOBBLE AND CHRYSLER KNOWS IT. THEY NEED TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR USING CHEAP PARTS ON JEEPS. *TR
