2008 Jeep WRANGLER 4-DR 4X2 Steering Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	980609
Internal NHTSA #	10511927
Manufacurer	Chrysler Group LLC

Model	WRANGLER 4-DR 4X2
Model Year	2008

Component	STEERING
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	The "death wobble" has occurred at multiple speeds, typically on highway. I have some video recording of this happening even at speeds of 35-50. Vehicle begins severely shaking and is not safe at all - driver nearly loses all control. Can be induced by braking, by road bump, or apparently just random onset. Replaced tires and had suspension work done and stabilizer shocks replaced twice. This has helped but not eliminated the problem and i expect it to deteriorate once again. Once death wobble occurs, it can be resolved by either slowing down or speeding up. This is extremely dangerous and one of two known jeep defects that they refuse to correct, with the second problem being the faulty transmissions that pop out of gear. Very dissatisfied customer!
