| Description of the problem | While driving on the highway around 65 mph i encountered a bump in the road and the front of the car began to shake uncontrollably. I had to come to a complete stop on the highway to regain control of the vehicle. I got out of the vehicle and checked for any visible issues, but found nothing, so i continued with my trip. This occurred again later that same day in very similar circumstances, i was traveling around 65 mph hit a dip in the road, at a transition where the bridge overpass meets the asphalt, the car again began to shake uncontrollably in the front of the vehicle, and i had to stop the vehicle again to regain control and stop the shaking. After a little research i learned this is a know issue with jeeps know as the jeep death wobble. |
