- Peach Tree City, GA, USA
With braking from 65 to 50 mph, there is a severe steering wheel vibration. It stops and doesn't occur at speeds less than 50 mph. It also does not occur when braking at higher speeds. The onset was insideous, with no known initiating vehicle damage. It has progressively worsened. When contacted, the dealership service department was not concerned, and believed it to be not an urgent or emergent problem. I know of 2 other 1999 Grand Cherokee owners now with the same complaint. Is this a potential safety hazard?

Had been in service since Sept. 1998. Did not want to get involved. No safety defect listed in the summary.
