| Description of the problem | Jeep death wobble breaking front control arm and track bar bracket causing loss of steering shooting the vehicle across 2 lanes road, thankfully no on coming traffic and was able to stop vehicle in grass prior to the ditch. Second episode of this, 1st episode that caused bracket failure and the bracket was fixed, alignment and all front suspension components were checked, jeep continues to do death wobble and is a hazard to drive. This incident happened at about 51 mph, previous incidents have happened with out equipment failure ranging from 45mph - 52mph. I am afraid that injuries will happen if chrysler does not address this matter as it is well documented on the internet with 2007-2012 jeep wranglers and it being a manufacturer's flaw on these models. |
