Pulsating brake/ steering wheel vibration/ ABS light stays on
Just to start off I’m fairly new here. so I will try and explain what’s going on the best way possible.
I have a 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 2wd 4.0
i bought it about 6 months ago from an older woman for $1200. Engine and transmission run great! But almost every time I go to brake the vehicle around 50mph range I can feel pulsating in the brake pedal as well as vibration in the steering wheel. It honestly gets so bad to were it vigorously shakes the car until I let off of the brake. Ive seen on here already about possibly warped rotors, pads, wheel bearing. The only thing that confuses me is the ABS light on the dash always stays on and never cuts off.
When I bought the car from this older woman she had told me she went to go try and get the ABS fixed, then proceeded to say the shop was going to charge her around $1500 to repair it. I’ve heard a few times if your ABS light is on, it could cause those symptoms as a warped rotor. The car has both front/rear disc brakes, I’m just trying to avoid spending a arm and a leg on all brand new rotors and pads, if it could be something less expensive 😂
