| Description of the problem | I bought a used jeep from newark jeep eagle in delaware which had a 30 day warranty. The same night that i drove it home on the highway, i hit uneven pavement and the jeep started shaking violently. Took the jeep back to the dealer, they replaced the steering stabilizer, track bar, and switched my tires and this continued to happen after every repair. Since i only had a 30 day warranty i could not continue to take it back for additional repair due to costs, however nothing seemed to work and now this happens at higher speeds and very often. This wobble happens every time i drive the jeep and it is unsafe. I see several other complaints regarding this wobble on several forums and on jeeps that have not been altered like mine. This needs to be addressed in a recall as people who spend $25,000 for a vehicle should not have to go broke to fix an obvious manufacturer error. I cannot drive me vehicle on the highway for fear of my safety as well as having to slow down and pull across the entire highway could cause an accident. |
