| Description of the problem | I purchased jeep new on 12/31/2013, within a few weeks i noticed when i turned the wheels to the right that the vehicle was shaking, within a few weeks when i turned to the left the shaking was happening, then i noticed upon take off the front end of the vehicle felt like the wheels were shaking or wobbling. I complained to the dealership and finally got it in to be looked at in june, they told me the front axles needed to be replaced which was done on july 9th (i think that is the right date), within two weeks it started the same thing again, i took the vehicle back to the dealership last week and was told that the front axles were the problem and that they would replace them. I just got back from having the front axels replaced for the second time and this jeep is not even a year old. I am very concerned for the safety of myself and any passenger that i may carry with me. I bought this vehicle new so that i would not have this concern as my two children live states away from me and my husband passed away in november 2013, i am totally responsible forgetting myself to and from work and visiting my children. Please let me know if this is common for this vehicle and if i need to have these fears for my safety. Thank you |
