2011-2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee: Vibration at speeds above 70MPH

Mon, 20 Apr 2026 20:31:37 -0700

Hello,

My 2014 Grand Cherokee, 5.7L, RWD, Limited, has been exhibiting a vibration noticeable in the steering wheel as well as in the floor of the vehicle at highway speeds ever since I got it in 2013.

It had new tires, brakes (including rotors), rotations, and even new specific part number wheel hubs (front) put on (per the bulletin I found). The issue persisted.

At first I believed the vibration was only in the steering wheel, because it was too difficult to notice anything beyond that. But I eventually noticed that I can also feel and even hear vibration in the rest of the vehicle especially when I have something loose in the trunk.

At this point I am thinking driveshaft, but after those expensive hubs I am not keen on just tossing money at it without asking for advice first.

The vibration used to be bad only between 72 and 80 MPH (going with flow of traffic :) ). Now I believe it only changes frequency but doesn't go away at higher speed. Also noticed that on first drive of a cold day vibration is worse, more aggressive, at least in the steering wheel.

Throwing the car in Neutral doesn't change vibration. Vibration occurs whether i am accelerating, coasting or decelerating.

In the days of heavy traffic I rarely got it up to the vibration speeds. Since 2020, and now being a bit out of the city, it is an issue I experience every time I am on a freeway.

Any help/direction would be highly appreciated.

Igor.

Having vibration issue. Can't seem to track it it down and I've already put way too much money into it. Vibrations mostly felt at highway speeds especially at about 70mph. I've so far done the following....

New rotors pads x4

New calipers x 4

Did not change brake hoses as they flowed fluid fine.

New center cv shaft

New motor mounts x2

New tires. Road force balanced

New wheels/rims balanced

New front wheel hubs

I need help it's all I got for a single dad. Issue has driven me near to crazy town hahaha. Thanks for any help we appreciate it.

2011-2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee: Why is my car lossing power and feeling sluggish

Fri, 19 Jul 2019 18:23:29 -0700

My car was recently acting up with feeling sluggish from a dead stop and having issues accelerating. We thought it was the Throttle Body, which we replaced and no change. Then my car was also throwing codes saying it was the Crankshaft Sensor and multiple cylinder misfire. So my husband changed out the sensor and then changed all 16 spark plugs where 14 of them were fouled out. After he was done, went to test drive and nothing has changed! What else can it be?! Feeling frustrated cause its also resulting in me only getting like 100 miles per a tank, I have literally filled my car up 3 times in the past 3 days.

2011-2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee: Car won't crank on without a jump

Wed, 09 Apr 2025 17:36:58 -0700

I have a brand new battery, but my Jeep won't start. When I push the start engine button, I get 1 click and all dash board lights come on. I have to jump it for it to start. I took it over to Jiffy Lube who confirmed battery was fully charged and in good condition, so nothing is draining it. They checked alternator and starter and said no issues with them. I've checked the starter relay and even switched it over to a different one to see if that was the case. But nope, Jeep still won't crank without a jump. Once Jeep is on and running, everything appears to be working smoothly. What else could it be :( Maybe the starter fuse?? or Ignition switch?? Help!
