| Description of the problem | After driving (between 45 mph and 55 mph) over a series of small bumps in the road (paved highway), i experienced (and am now continuing to experience, on a more frequent basis) a very dramatic, violent, terrifying, and nearly uncontrollable shaking of my entire vehicle (2007 jeep wrangler) which i have recently learned online (from reading countless reports from other jeep wrangler drivers experiencing the same terrifying event) is being called the dreaded jeep "death wobble" (appropriately named as one rightly feels as though the driver of and passengers within vehicle could possibly suffer a tragic and life-ending accident resulting from this obvious very serious vehicle malfunction). As a loyal jeep customer and owner over the past 3 decades (having my vehicles regularly serviced as recommended at their authorized chrysler/jeep locations), i immediately reported this matter to chrysler/jeep corporation and after asking if a recall has been issued, was told "no" and that none was being considered. In absolute amazement (and disgust), i advised chrysler/jeep that such inaction by chrysler/jeep would not only place its vehicle owners at great personal risk (accident and possibly even death from resulting accidents), but could also subject chrysler/jeep to legal action such as class action suits being filed nationwide by each state's attorneys general's offices. Please kindly fully investigate and take immediate corrective action to require chrysler/jeep to fully address and correct this unsafe, terrifying (and possibly even life-threatening) matter. Thank you. |
