Jeep Laredo Steering problems by year

We bought a used 1999 jeep grand cherokee laredo last year for our son to drive, thinking it would be a safe vehicle for him in all kinds of weather and road conditions. We did not expect to have problems driving on the highway on dry roads in perfect weather. The vehicle has started to stall at highway speeds, causing a loss of power steering and brakes, and most likely air bags as well. We are lucky he is a safe driver, and was able to get the vehicle off the road safely. Our trusted mechanic, who is a jeep...

I was going approx. 40 Mph when I ran over a small bump in the road and the entire truck began to shake uncontrollably and I almost lost control. I applied the brakes and only when I slowed to approx. 10 Mph it ceased. I have had it in the garage since feb. 3, 2014 And have spent well over $3000 and it still isn't fixed. I have had the entire front end rebuilt and have replaced all the bushings in the rear end. I will never ever buy a jeep again. I think it would be nice of them to reimburse some of the money I have spent over the last 3+ months. If I had to get a rental car, I would be in the poor house. I don't know what else to replace. *Tr

Similar to recent gm problem, when driving, my knee touches the ignition switch, which then shuts down the engine. This has happened on multiple occasions and I have been able to safely steer the car to the roadside. I am concerned that, if this happens when my wife is driving, she would not have the strength to safely control the car. *Tr

I purchased a used suv and noticed that after driving for approx. 30 Minutes the car appears to have difficulty making a turn. When I discuss this matter with two other persons who have the same car as i, I was informed that their car has the same identical problem. One owner has had the problem corrected by their mechanic, the other cannot find the reasoning. *Nm

I hear a honking noise and feel vibrations when making slow left hand turns (ex. Parking). The slower and tighter the turn, the louder the noise and the more vibration. I brought the vehicle to the dealer at least 4 times for this problem and was told there was nothing they could do about it.
