| Description of the problem | I have experienced on many occasions, something called the "death wobble." when driving anywhere between 40mph & 65mph, if i hit a pot-hole (especially on a curve), the front-end of my jeep starts shaking violently to the point where i have to pull over on the side of the highway. In a few instances, i was on a highway that did not have a shoulder and i was in the left lane. This is a very serious and dangerous safety issue. I have read thousands and thousands of complaints from people who also drive jeep wranglers, especially those made from 2005-2008. When i originally complained to jeep/chrysler, i was under warranty and they insisted i just needed an alignment and new tires. This only masked the problem for a few months until it happened again. By the time i went back to jeep, i was no longer under warranty and therefore, could not file a complaint under the lemon law. This has given me anxiety to the point where i now have an ulcer from having to drive this vehicle on the highway to work 25 miles each way. Please help, before i or others die from this issue. |
