| Description of the problem | 2008 jeep wrangler jk death wobble- not resolved (for long) by replacement of steering stabilizer. Believe there is a serious flaw(s) in the overall engineering and design. Steering box is exceptionally weak and clunks. Jeep is ignoring the problem, despite thousands of complaints from owners online, at dealers, and in jeep forums. Someone is going to get killed by this issue. Has not been resolved on my jeep yet- haven't even figured out what the root cause is yet, but have spent $1000 so far! Thinking about ditching this dangerous vehicle. |
