| Description of the problem | On many occasions the "death wobble", the front wheels of my 2014 jeep cherokee would begin violently oscillating while i towed the jeep behind my motorhome. This wobble would occur at any speed and usually in construction zones or on a big bump in the highway. Jeep finally provided a "fix" for the problem by requiring a wiring harness to be installed. I paid to have it installed in a vehicle that was sold as four wheels down with no modifications and that has stopped the wobble problem. The original manual also states that the vehicle is flat towable. There was an addendum to the manual, but that was 2 years after i purchased the vehicle and many miles behind my motorhome. |
