| Description of the problem | Jeep wobble. I was towing my vehicle behind my motor home. I had traveled approximately 300 miles without problems. Near the end of my trip i made a right turn. Just after making the turn i felt a violent shaking. The incident occurred at low speed estimated to be 20 to 25 mile per hour. I looked into the rear camera and was able to see the vehicle oscillating from side to side. I immediately slowed to a stop to get the shaking to stop. Since i was blocking traffic i continued on to a safe place. After proceeding about a mile to my destination, i had no further issues. I have contacted jeep concerning the issue. They stated that it was on me to buy a wiring kit to correct the problem. When i purchased the vehicle on december 31, 2017, i told the dealer that i was in the market for a vehicle for towing. They did not have one with the equipment necessary for towing in stock but stated they could get one from louisville ky. I agreed to have get it. In short i purchase a vehicle that the dealership said was ready for towing. At now time during the sales process or after was i ever notified a a wiring package requirement. I just learned of it in recent days when i had it in the shop. I feel that chrysler should pay for the fix and not me as the consumer based on their representation that the vehicle was ready for towing. |
