| Description of the problem | My 2008 jeep wrangler shakes when going over a bump or when i accelerate at 40 mph. It is scary, it feels like driving on black ice. I had the tires checked and they are fine. There must be a problem with the steering component. Also, freedom top has leaked and stained my seats. Dealership just fixed it a month ago. Also, the jeep was leaking oil, dealership just fixed the intake manifold gasket 3 weeks ago. It is scheduled to go back to dealership for this steering issue and it is rusting on both doors. Poor, poor quality. I am very unhappy with this vehicle. I have looked up recalls and none are listed for my issues , so i am starting to feel like i own a lemon. I have wrote to jeep and chrysler, waiting on their replies. Jeep owner need to be aware of this shaking you off the road, it is like you are swerving out of control, very scary. It is going to cause fatalities. |
