| Description of the problem | Experienced the notorious "death wobble" again today. This has happened plenty of times to me, but today it was the most severe and worrisome. The vehicle shakes and rattles so much that i expect pieces to fall off. Other cars pull up to me on the highway off ramp (where it often happens on our bumpy massachusetts roads) and ask if everything is okay. I'm not sure if i would buy this jeep again. They really need to fix this. Articles online seem to suggest that it is the stock track bar, and if so, why won't chrysler just replace them? |
