| Description of the problem | I was driving the jeep down the highway through construction zone and it vibrated violently after i drove over a bump. I had to slow down very quickly during rush hour and was almost hit in the rear by another care so the wobble would go away. I took it to have it fixed and was told this is common. I looked it up online and was amazed. For a newer vehicle i was floored that it was not covered by jeep. I have an extended warranty too. I took it to jeep and they told me i had to pay to fix it, so what was i going to do drive and unsafe car (and it is unsafe, another car almost hit me). I paid to have it fixed. They replaced a damper and guess what there is still a wobble. This is the most ridiculous issue and yet jeep will not stand behind a poor design that they clearly know is a problem. So, i am looking for help making it know that if there is an accident involving this problem i have advised jeep and now nhtsa. I will surely contact an attorney and become very public that there has been warning of this. All i want is for my wife and kids to be safe in a car. Jeep should step up and correct there problem. |
