| Description of the problem | As i was leaving a shopping center about 40 miles away from my house my jeep and as i entered onto the interstate the jeep acted like i was having a flat tire with the steering wheel shaking and giving me a lot of vibration and the flop flop sound you get from a flat tire. I stopped and got out but no flat tire, loose lug nuts or anything i could find. Put flashers on and headed up the road slowly not going over 45 mph. It finally quit and i was able to increase speed. It continues to have this wobble sound along with the steering wheel shaking off and on. I did some research and the only thing matched what happen was the jeep death wobble. Some vehicles have had a recall on this but i don't see any for my year. |
