#84 of 117 Re: Dealership denies existence of clunk! [growwise] by dodo2 Apr 10, 2007 (7:25 pm)
Replying to: growwise (Apr 10, 2007 9:13 am) I can hear the ABS noise when taking off, but unless I listen for it, I wouldn't catch it, especially if the radio is on. I have ZERO concerns about it.
#85 of 117 I'm knocking too by theshimmy Apr 18, 2007 (10:05 pm)
I couldn't sleep thinking about that mysterious noise from the front end of my car and when I started thinking what if my wheel falls off?! Well, I had to see what I could find on this. I'm sad and glad I found this ....glad to have an idea of what it might be and sad because we are all having this problem to begin with. This is my second Outlander, the first was knock free this one is the same year(2003) but it has that shimmy sound when I'm accelerating. I thought it was bad gas, or a rod knocking but the dealership said it was mechanically sound. I still have the shimmy sound. Now that I am equipped with my hub info I'll request for two hub changes in the front since that is where the sound is coming from. oh no doors too? Gees! oh I took my car in for the recall on the relay for the overheating, did you guys get that notice? If not its for 2003-2006 and its free of charge with or without the letter. Bye!

Well, after a month of having "the fix" for the front end clunk, it's back!!!   It did it again while backing into my garage. I can't believe that MMNA cannot properly fix this stupid thing. Looks like another day wasted at the dealer.   Be warned!

Replying to: blackb13 (Apr 25, 2007 5:39 pm) Does anyone know if these problems have been remedied at the factory yet? If so when? I am looking at replacing my 93 Grand Cherokee with an LS and would like to be armed to the teeth when I go talk to the "dealer". Thanks for the help. This is a great forum!!

Replying to: rmj1 (Apr 28, 2007 10:25 pm) This problem was corrected by the manufacturer on Outlanders built on/after Feb 07. To check the built date of yours, refer to the sticker on the driver side door frame. Here is a sample.   http://outieclub.com/viewtopic.php?p=194#p194 Replies to this message: rmj1 (Apr 29, 2007 9:02 am)

Replying to: gosok (Apr 29, 2007 6:17 am) Thankyou so much. It is so good to be able to go into a dealership and have this kind of information. I have a month or two before I am ready to start negotiating so I hope to be well informed by then. Thanks again.

Replying to: blackb13 (Apr 25, 2007 5:39 pm) I had the issue with the wheel bearing clunk after I picked up my XLS 4WD Outtie in December. It has disappeared in normal driving now, even when I back out of my space..I have a hard time reproducing it. Doing hard donuts in a parking lot will produce the clunk but I never drive that hard normally.  I will keep monitoring it but as for now I never hear it anymore in normal driving...I have 5000 City miles on it. I figure if there is a problem in the future, it will be covered by the great warranty.. I don't want my front end taken apart for a minor noise unless it is a safety item, which this bearing deal is not.. Other than that, the SUV is quite an amazing performer for the price..!

#93 of 117 Steering Problems by linloo Jul 21, 2008 (9:32 am)
Hi All - I purchased a leftover, about 60 miles on it, '07 Outlander in February. In March I had to have my wheel bearings replaced. I've had the car back three times now because I have to fight to keep it in my lane (definitely at 60 mph and higher, but it happens at slower speeds too). Also, sometimes taking off quickly in a right turn the steering wheel freaks out to where I have to grip the wheel real hard with both hands to keep it from going completely out of control. I also had a couple of close calls this past winter where the car just did not cooperate when stopping in bad weather - never had a winter like that before!   Does anyone else have any similar experiences? The dealer said they can't find a problem - they call it torque steer. It seems more dangerous than that. Never had this much "torque steer" on any other car.
