| Description of the problem | This vehicle develops "death wobble" when being flat towed behind a motorhome. I have personally experienced this situation and have intentionally caused the "wobble" to confirm it's potential. A corrective wiring harness is available for the jeep cherokee. However, no corrective system is available for the jeep "grand" cherokee. It should be noted that the cherokee and "grand" cherokee have the same electrohydraulic power steering system. Every jeep dealership i have contacted claims denial of the problem with the "grand" cherokee while admitting that there is a problem with the same year and model jeep cherokee. The potential of developing a "death wobble" while traveling at a high rate of speed and hitting a pothole, construction site or rr tracks is real. However, i have had no luck with securing any corrective action by any jeep dealership in utah. |
