Over the past three years my power windows slid down. One left rear a few years ago slid down as we were going down the road. Rt passenger side down about a year later. January 2nd my passenger side window did the same. I took it into the shop and mechanic said it was the regulator, it would be $300 to fix it, he said yep that's common in Jeep. I have a friend who has a 2002 Jeep, same problem with all four.... I'm a single mother, single grandmother that cant spare that kind of money. Yesterday 04/14/2009 I walked out to my Jeep to discover the window was down. Thought wow I don't remember leaving my window down because I have sound equipment I would hate to have stolen. It was chilly out that morning, tried to roll it up.... guess what? now all of my power windows are broken due the regulators. Fuel pump, and injectors are my problem too. Oh yeah!!!!!!!!!! let me add the heater core to that. I love my Jeep... I take good care of it, it looks brand new. The oil is changed with the best money can buy and on time every time if not sooner.

Contact stated the front end shook violently. The steering wheel shook from left to right. The dealer told her the Jeep had been brought to dealer at least three times prior to the contact's purchase of the vehicle for same problem, and they were unable to duplicate the problem. Updated 12/7/2005. Several front end parts have been replaced but that has not alleviated the shaking problem.

Front end shimmy occurs when decelerating from highway speeds or slowing down. Took to dealer, and they've replaced brakes and rotors 5 times at 9000 miles. Problem is still occurring.
