| Description of the problem | Vehicle shakes / wobbles when accelerating from a dead stop. The passenger side front tire actually feels loose until approximately 30 mph. Also, when turning right and / or going up an incline, the front end shakes and the vehicle hesitates. Jeep acknowledges that this is an issue and they are redesigning the front axles with a sturdier design. The issue is that the repair is not available for several months at least, because it's still in development. There is a real concern that the axle could fail and cause an accident. |
