| Description of the problem | I bought a 2006 jeep cherokee in october 2006 and sine the day we bought it we have had problems with the front end steering. We took it to the dealer where we bought it and they told us there was nothing wrong with the steering. The next time we took it in for the same problem, a few day later, they told us it needed balancing. The third time we took it in they told us it needed an alignment. We have now done balancing and alignments approximately every 2-3 months. We have replaced the stabilizer arm three times since we bought the jeep and need to replace it again. The steering gets so bad it almost pulls the wheel out of your hand at 45 miles per hour. The dealership still says there is nothing wrong with it. |
