| Description of the problem | While driving 50 to 70 mph if the vehicle hits any small bump in the road it then begins to shake violently. There is a term given by jeep owners that have this year jeep called the "death wobble." there are many of discussion groups online that talk about it and there is even footage on youtube. The only way to stop the wobble is to stop the vehicle as quickly as you can. Not safe at all at highway speeds. Why is there no recall on this issue? General motors was saved by the tax payers of the u. S. They should not be allowed to put vehicles that are unsafe on u. S. Highways. I only hope no one has been seriously hurt or killed from this issue. My jeep is all stock from the factory. I have had no work or modifications done to it. There is no reason why jeep owners that pay $24,000 or more for their jeep to pay over $1000 to fix a safety issue that gm is responsible for. I have had a few recall on my jeep for minor issues and had them fixed. This is a major issue. |
