| Description of the problem | Death wobble. I'm sure not the first complaint you've seen for it. This is a complete bs problem to have on a $40,000 vehicle and chrysler/jeep needs to be held liable for it. I have spent over $2,000 replacing components on the front-end - none of which have "cured" the violent "death wobble" when i hit a bump or pothole going 50 - 60mph. Just to add another definition to the problem, i will explain in detail. You hit a bump or a pothole going anywhere from 40 to 60 mph or so, and the whole front end begins to shake violently. Steering wheel shakes, wheels are wobbling back and forth like crazy, and the car is hard to control. There is no way to stop it until you pull off the road and stop the vehicle. Shoddy manufacturing is the only real culprit i can point to based on my experience and the hundreds of accounts i have personally read online just trying to find a solution for my own problem. This is completely unacceptable and needs to be addressed by chrysler/jeep... |
