| Description of the problem | While driving my 2007 jeep wrangler unlimited sahara on the i35 north at approximately 70 mph, a slight bump caused a violent shaking of the tires and suspension system. The vehicle was nearly impossible to control, the steering wheel nearly shook out of my grasp. Braking compounded the issue. I was able to veer the vehicle to the shoulder on the road, where a lower speed allowed the vehicle to recover. The same thing occurred nearly 1 hour later as i returned home. This situation is not isolated to me or my vehicle, it has been coined as the "jeep death wobble" by hundreds of people online. |
