 Description of the problemThis is an update on a previous complaint of the dreaded jeep wrangler "death wobble". The odi number for my previous complaint is 10259486. My 2008 jeep wrangler now has 52,000 miles on it and the "death wobble" has gotten worse since the last complaint report at 15,000 miles. I drive 24 miles round trip to work each day and on average the "death wobble" occurs once per day. Some days it occurs more, up to 4 times per trip on several occasions. I continue to get the same answer from the local dealership i. E. There is nothing wrong with the vehicle and there is no common problem with jeep wranglers with regards to the common name for the occurrence,"death wobble". I can only imagine that their denial of a common problem with these vehicles is that no one has crashed as a result of it yet. I came very close last week when it occurred traveling down the left lane of 4 lane us 41 with a semi tractor trailer along side me in the right lane and 2 vehicles following close behind me. I was forced to hit the brakes and i can assure you there was a lot of scrambling behind me. I consider all vehicles in the vicinity very lucky.
