| Description of the problem | At any speed the jeep is apt to start wobbling side to side after driving over bumps. (frequently called the "death wobble" by jeep owners when describing this condition.) at highway speeds this makes it difficult to stay in lanes. The hood hinges do not hold the hood securely down. At speeds above 30mph you can witness the hood wobbling up and down and side to side. You may read about both of these issues in dozens of online forums regarding jeep issues from owners across the country. |
