| Description of the problem | On tuesday march 9th 2010 i was driving my 2008 jeep wrangler unlimited across railroad tracks in herman minnesota about 11:00 am. The road conditions were wet. I experienced a violent shaking starting in the front end which then involved the whole vehicle. My speed was about 25 to 30 mph. I hit the brakes and the shaking stopped. I have 15,000 miles on the vehicle. There are many complaints of this on various forums on the internet(edmunds. Com,jkforum. Com etc) i have no modifications on my vehicle and has been maintained(tires rotated and balanced, oil changes etc). I bought a 2002 jeep grand cherokee new and have traveled over these same railroad tracks many a time with no problems. I am going to make an appointment for this week (3/15/2010) with albany chrysler/jeep the dealer whom i purchased the car from for a recall to reprogram the computer and normal maintenance. At this appointment i will have the shaking incident addressed. |
