This discussion started with 2005 model year vibration problems in Post #1 and has had various model year threads and off-shoots.
 
Having similar posts grouped in one discussion helps more people find answers, and many members tend to watch certain discussions and may miss new ones. Please just scroll past posts that don't interest you.

Jeep Grand Cherokee Owners:
 
I need your assistance with vibration problems on my '07. If anyone has had their driveshafts or u-joints replaced by the dealer could you let me know. So far the dealership I am working with will not replace mine and says that the vibration I feel is a characteristic of the quadra-trac II system. I am waiting to have an area rep review my complaint but would like some back-up material to show them. Your assistance is greatly appreciated

Vibration,shutter, agravation in a new Jeep by afran

After digesting the many posts on this forum and the comments by my dealer, I'm convinced that Jeep has a problem with the torque converter which they cannot fix.
 
The way I'm going to fix mine is to get rid of my 2008 GC ASAP and buy a car from someone who knows how to design them...BMW, AUDI, Lexus...too bad they are not American brands!

I'd hold off on spending any money on getting it fixed if you don't have the warranty. When they say Characteristic, I'd read between the lines and see : "Something's wrong and we don't know how to fix it." There have been several discussions about potential software fixes for it but nothing has been out out yet. The flashes don't work and I spent $3000 to get it fixed but it still does it. The shudder problem is not a characteristic its a big problem.
 
The main culprit seems to be the torque converter and not the joints. If you search the thread further you can find some other ideas and get more information on what HAS NOT worked.

I had my rear drive shaft with no noticeable difference in the vibration at 70mph. I would agree there is an issue with the Quadratrac II or the torque converter that is not fixable. There is a design flaw in these vehicles that make them vibrate at highway speeds and makes them uncomfortable to drive. I personally have just become used to it -- only 21 more shaky months to go!!!

Hi. I haven't checked the site for awhile.....but your post is an answer to prayer! Yes we have had the exact same problem! We have an 2006 Jeep GC and yes it rumbles. Our jeep has high mileage with 48,000 miles and we are no on torque converter number 4!
We are so ticked off with jeep that we want to get rid of it, but there no longer is value in jeeps. So if any else is interested we want a class action (although - I am not sure that is what we have?) but yes were disgusted with the poor product we bought.

Well - its been a while since your posting. But I to have the same problems and feelings with Jeep. I have and 06 Grand Cherokee, it shudders (rumbles) and lurches under a load. It has 48,000 miles and we just replace torque converter number 4! After having the rear differentials rebuilt! Trust me its not the tires for anyone who reads this! We have put over $4200 into this car in the past year and it has an extended warranty at that.
 
Jeep should know that their product sucks!

I have once agian sent a letter to Chrysler Customer Service, also included one to all the top people at Chrysler. Don't know that anyone will read it or even care but its a start. As I feel everyone else's frustration I now know that I am not the only one out there with the same problem. They still have not gotten back to me about a potential software fix for the premature torque converter lock-up at 35-40mph, because of this I have gotten into the habit of using the tow/haul mode. I should have kept my Durango that had 102,000 miles on it.

Vibration and shudder fix? by rkoz1

Pick my '07 up from repair on Monday. After three dealerships and being told that there was nothing wrong hopefully a solution. One new driveshaft, torque converter and a front-end alignment. Not bad for a vehicle that is only 6 months old

drivetrain shudder by wholelottahemi

Hi rkoz1,
 
How did the car feel after the fixes? I have an '07 fully loaded GC Hemi with the same problem. They changed my front and rear driveshaft for about a 75% improvement. I have not had my torque converter addressed. Describe your problem a bit more to me and at what speeds it occurrs. Let me know how you make out. You can e-mail me at alankmsnet.net
 
Thanks,
Alan
