| Description of the problem | Vehicle: 2007 jeep wrangler 2-door 4x4. The vehicle vibration (front end(?)) has existed since purchased in march 2007 and was reported to the dealership at first service and subsaquent services. At highway speeds the vehicle developes a vibration beginning at 60 mph through 65 mph and ending at 70 mph. The dealership has repeatedly balanced all the tires and states they are within tolerance. In june 2008 the chrysler area representative came and took the vehicle for test drives as well as other like vehicles off the lot. All tested had vibrations at approximately the same speeds. In july 2008 chrysler sent a super tech. Who also took the vehicle for a test drive as well as other new like vehicles off the lot and the problem existed in all vehicles. The conclusion by both chrysler representatives is that the vehicle vibration problem that i experance in my 2007 wrangler 2-door 4x4 is in fact inherent to this product line. I purchased this vehicle for the purpose of pulling it four wheels down behind a motorhome and at the 60-65 mph speed range, which is the best ecomomy zone for a motorhome. A problem as i described above occuring at highway speed could adversely affect the handling of the vehicle during periods of limited traction, which could potentially result in an accident endangering the lives of the occupants and others on the roadway. |
