2008 Jeep WRANGLER 4-DR 4X4 Steering Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1214111
Internal NHTSA #	10759637
Manufacurer	Chrysler (FCA US LLC)
Brand	JEEP
Model	WRANGLER 4-DR 4X4
Model Year	2008
File date	01/05/15
Component	STEERING
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	When braking from a speed of 60mph or greater, the front end steering began to shake violently causing the steering wheel to vibrate back and forth. It would only subside when releasing the brake pedal. The vibration felt like an unstable oscillation that would eventually cause the steering wheel to make a sharp turn if the brake was not released. This symptom was repeatable. The vehicle was brought to a jeep dealer for servicing. They attributed the problem to "steering damper had play and was leaking". Problem was corrected by replacing the damper and associated hardware (hex bolt and locking hex nut).
