| Description of the problem | Vehicle experiences violent shaking known as the "death wobble". Problem began just under a year after purchasing brand new. The vehicle has been in for repairs numerous times the past 3 years and have spend thousands of dollars and has yet to be fixed. Worst incident occurred a day after i got the jeep back from the dealership for "repairs" and was driving over independence pass. "death wobble" occurred several times causing us to almost fall of the cliff!!! I had to drive 5 mph in order to make it down this road safely. Someone is going to get seriously injured or killed if chrysler does not correct this hazardous defect. |
