| Description of the problem | Hello, i bought a new 2007 jeep wrangler and have been having what the industry calls the "death wobble" since the vehicle was new and it is now in for the 4th repair attempt and dealership is telling me that there is nothing they can do to fix it and that they can't replicate the problem this time, although they have now repaired it 3 times now over the last 2 years and were able to replicate the problem each of the other times. Now my new vehicle warranty is within 200 miles of expiring now and i have a broken car that is in no way safe to drive. I will be driving to the mountains to ski this weekend in a snow storm so it should be scary as this is my only car. A simple search for my model year jeep online and death wobble will return an unlimited amount of information. Obviously i am not the only consumer with this complaint. Can you please advise whom i should contact to address this matter? I don't want to die or kill anyone. The "death wobble" occurs when i encounter a bump in the road at speeds over ~40mph and must be slowed to a near stop to make it quit. I can't seem to get anyone at chrysler to help me and the dealers can't fix it, what do i do? |
