Grand Cherokee 4WD 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission

: the contact stated while driving at no particular speed, the steering column made a popping noise. This occurred while turning the steering wheel to the right. The vehicle was taken to the dealer numerous times for inspection. The dealer replaced the brakes; however, that made no impact on the popping noise.

problem #1

Jul 202002

Grand Cherokee 4WD 8-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 150 miles
The steering column vibrates when turning the wheels (usually at lower speeds). Took it to the dealer 3 times, first time they replaced the hoses, second time replaced the steering column, and the third time they stated this was a problem with a piece of metal in the column that vibrates due to a small gap within the steering column. I was told this would be a few months, however, 6 months have now passed and I still have the problem. One side note, it seems to do it less in colder weather!
