If my vechicle is in 4WD, I can turn to the left to make a UTURN, and I have no problems. But, if I am in 2WD, the jeep will begin to hop and wobble as I make a left-hand UTURN. The alignment is intact as it was taken to an authorized Jeep Dealer for alignment, and they could not determine the cause of the problem. The lead mechanic was easily able to duplicate the occurence, so this is something seriously wrong here. I also noticed that if driving in the mountains on an unpaved road, and I make a switchback lefthand turn, the jeep will hop and wobble pretty seriously. The jeep is a single-owner vehicle, and has never been involved in an accident.

Do you drive a 1998 JEEP CHEROKEE?

Just because a car has been recalled does not mean it is not a reliable car. Millions of cars get recalled every year. Recalls often involve problems that are rare but could cause a serious problem if they occur. So the risk to any given driver is often remote, even though there may be a few high-profile incidents traced to the problem.
