| Description of the problem | Started experiencing the jeep "death wobble" at least 2 years ago. I am the sole owner of a stock 2008 jeep wrangler unlimited. My wife and i are afraid to drive this vehicle that we continue to make payments on. I have put thousands of dollars into repairs with no long term fix, and i do have regular maintenance done at the dealership. Multiple replaced steering shocks, and recently a front right u-joint replacement, and a front right break caliper locking up. Even after repairs and the dealership checking tension of all suspension parts, the third time out driving the vehicle again... Death wobble. Very frustrated owners, we should not be paying on a vehicle we are scared to drive and now sits mostly unused except in emergencies. |
