| Description of the problem | The death wobble is a nightmare. It's terrifying, not other way to describe it. The entire car shakes so violently you have no choice but to stop. It happened on busy highway (nj turnpike) and i almost caused an accident because i had to stop the jeep with people travelling at speeds of 65mph and greater. I've called dealerships, they don't know how to fix it. It sounds like a waste of money for me to even attempt to fix it. Why has the jeep wrangler not been recalled for this reason? It's outrageous for the amount of money these cars cost. |
