2008 Jeep WRANGLER 4-DR 4X4 Suspension Front Problems, Complaints and Defects

Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	While traveling at highways speeds, 55mph or more, bumps or uneven surfaces may cause the vehicle to begin shaking very violently. Chirping of tires can be heard and ability to steer and possibly slow down is greatly diminished. This occurred only occasionally when the vehicle had under 20,000 miles. After that it would occur almost any time the vehicle was driven over a bumpy surface in excess of 55mph, and under less severe bumps as time went on. Frequency of occurrence on an uneven stretch of highway would render the vehicle incapable of maintaining normal highway speeds impeding flow of traffic. This causes front tires to lose pressure and wear more rapidly. Problem occurred more frequently after re-inflating tires. Slowing the vehicle to a speed of approximately 35mph or less would usually stop the shaking; sometimes, an almost, complete stop would be necessary. Upon my initial complaint nothing was done about it. I was told it may be an out of balance tire. Upon the 2nd complaint the steering dampener was replaced. I have not had a chance to adequately test the vehicle to see if this repair has fixed the problem. From everything i've read, it's a temporary fix at best. In summary "death wobble" needs to be seriously addressed, i feel fortunate to have not been an accident yet. This is a very unnerving condition. It is worth nothing, that the shake is so violent vehicles behind or beside me will often yield extra distance to the vehicle when it occurs. This likely is causing undue repair costs to many vehicle owners as it has me in prematurely worn tires and other parts.
