| Description of the problem | The vehicle is a 2008 jeep wrangler 4 door 4x4. The incident happened at approximately 15000 miles. While driving down the highway at 55 to 60 mph the front end steering/suspension began shaking violently as if i had blown a tire. Inspection of the vehicle after being forced to pull over and stop rendered nothing evidently wrong . Took the vehicle to the dealership for inspection of the front suspension components and they claim there is nothing wrong with it. Searching on the internet for jeep wrangler problems i have come to the conclusion that i have what seems to be common with jeep wranglers i. E. "death wobble". All you have to do is type these two words in a search engine and you will get all kinds of hits on jeep wranglers. It surprises me that chrysler has not acknowledged this problem and figured out a fix for it. It is a bit dangerous, especially at highway speeds. |
