| Description of the problem | In 208 i purchased a 2007 jeep wrangler, with 11,000 miles, after driving only 1,000. Miles my front end starting wobbling violently, returned to dealer and they stated my tires needed to be road forced balance, within 3 months while driving to work going about 45mph the truck front end did the know death wobble, returned to the dealer only to be told my tires were cupped, purchased new tires, seem to elevate the problem, only for it to happen several more times and two additional set of tires. I am now driving on a set of tires that is less than a year old, and having the same issues, was on the interstate last week driving about 70mph when out of nowhere my front end started to wobble out of control, i did manage to slow down enough but was shifted into another lane, could not control the steering, was lucky the interstate was not busy, this could of resulted in a major accident. I don't understand why a recall has not been issued on the suspension, the 2010-2011 jeeps have had one so obviously chrysler is aware there is a problem with the front end suspension. This will be a costly repair,so many different possible solutions but none are a guarantee, seem to me chrysler needs to step up and take responsibility for the faulty design before someone gets killed. |
