| Description of the problem | The problem started late february 2014. I took my jeep to the dealership and explained my problem in great detail and they were aware of the this problem, the death wobble. So they called me later and said it's fixed. Which it wasn't i pulled out and only a few minutes later it happened so i went back and asked them if they bothered to test drive to see if it was actually fixed and they said no. This blew my mind especially since it's dangerous. So after they put on a new stabilizer bar i took it to a new place since that was the 4th bad experience i've had with that dealership. The back up place started their inspection of problem and noticed the stabilizer was faulty and he started with replacing that again. I got the jeep back to only find it was still not fixed. I've taken the jeep back 5 times to have the following items replaced in this order: stabilizer bar/wheel alignment and tire rotation, stabilizer bar again, all new shocks, steering damper/tie rod ends, and track bar. $2000 worth of work and it is still not fixed. Now i'm at a point where i just don't know what to do. The mechanic is stumped and replaced the entire suspension system. I feel like this vehicle is extremely dangerous to drive so now i'm stuck with a lemon or sell to someone else which is not right either. I'm blown away this is a well documented problem and that the manufacturer has done nothing to remedy issue. This has caused me to almost of been run over by 70mph semis, run two other cars off the road and it's only a matter of time before i get hurt or killed or someone else does. |
