| Description of the problem | On or about march 10 2014 while driving my new cherokee at about 2000 miles i felt a wobble when taking off from a complete stop,seemed to be front right side of vehicle shimmy and then stop. As days went on i noticed it more and more. Several weeks ago i did an internet search for my vehicle having a wobbling issue and found the jeep cherokee forum with a handful of others with similar issues with there 2014 cherokees also,this made me very worried that there is a serious problem. The vehicle wobbles side to side most of the time while at about 1700 rpm in 2nd gear and then seems to stop when the trans engages into 3rd. Speed varies from about 10 to 15 mph. Dealer could not replicate the problem,wobble is light at times or can be very noticeable as to make your legs shimmy side to side,wobble sometimes goes away only to start to shimmy again hours later. I currently have 3300 miles. I have informed my dealers tech rep that i am concerned about the vehicle going out of control or malfunctioning due to the wobble,the dealer tech rep stated that as far as that could tell it is safe. It is still shaking now most of the time and wanted to report this issue to you asap thank you |
