| Description of the problem | Death wobble when being towed the dealer is no help on this problem because they do not have a service bulletin on the 2016 jeep grand cherokee, but there on 2014 and 2015 cherokee. I need to get jeep to fix this problem. 2016 is first year for grand cherokee to have electronic steering which was the cause of the same thing happening. 2014 - 2015 jeep fixed it with a new harness adapter that send power to the steering with the ignition off. Jeep said when enough people complain we then may come up with a similar fix". Only has happened to a few grand cherokees. This of course is not acceptable to me. This is bad and need to be address asap. This could cause a crash and someone could get killed. When the jeep is being towed and you hit bump while turning it starts wobbling from side to side so bad it will cause you to not be able to control the towing vehicle. Once you stop and then take of it stops wobbling. |
