| Description of the problem | I am the second owner of this 2008 jeep wrangler unlimited 4 door that i purchase at dealership. While driving home at approx. 25 mph in heavy traffic on i ran over a reflector probably on more than 1 inch high on the road. The car began to violently shake and scare my wife and grandchildren. The steering wheel shaked so violently that i had to come to a complete stop in the middle of the lane, on a busy highway, to stop the shaking. I feel i have been ripped off from chrysler motor company, i spent 10's of thousands of dollars on a vehicle that may kill me or someone else. An immediate recall should be sent out to all owners of jeep wrangler jk unlimited 4 doors. Also the news media should be informed and broadcast the recall and what they should do. Chrysler corp. Must immediately fix this dangerous "death wooble" at their expense with no cost to the owners of such vehicles. There should be no exceptions. . Looks like chrysler corporation is puting profits over vehicle safety. Force chrysler to be accountable and fix the "death wooble". |
