| Description of the problem | Driving 2007 jeep wrangler x model on damp day. Hitting shallow puddles with right side tires on side of the road at about 55 miles an hour. I have always done this without too much problem. Road was flat and straight without potholes. Hit puddle and vehicle began shaking violently as if a tire was about to fall off at high speed. Extreme medium frequency vibration continued until vehicle was almost at a complete stop. It was repeatable. The second time it happened was on a flat straight well paved road in downtown city street. I was going between 30 and 35 miles per hour and on a dry road and traveled over a railroad track transition (slightly elevated concrete to transition over tracks smoother) this set up another uncontrollable medium frequency vibration in the vehicle that could not be stopped unless the vehicle comes to almost a complete stop. Others on www. Jk-forum. Com have experienced similar situations. Dealers are blowing some of us off. It should be mentioned that i always travel with the anti-skit mitigation system off. It appears that a lateral oscillation is starting up in the front end of the jeep steering system. But that is just a guess. I reported it to my dealership and they said (oh yeah, that is the jeep death wobble). It is pretty normal, although they had never heard of it on the new body style. |
