 Description of the problemI bought a 2004 jeep wrangler about 6 months ago and 3 of the months that i have owned this vehicle its has a shake in the front end known as the death wobble (google death wobble)my jeep has 63,000 miles on it and no warranty, bought it used. When i drive this jeep 40-55 miles a hour and if i hit a bump the whole front end of the jeep shakes out of control, very dangerous. My jeep wrangler has had nothing done to it (no lifts or added parts all stock) i have brought this jeep to a mechanic 1 month ago and this friday it will be going back to another mechanic. When my jeep first did this death wobble i did some research and i was very surprised how many people have received the same problem as i did. Is there anything i can do? This jeep sat at the dealers lot for 1 year before he sold it, did he know? Maybe nothing will come out of this but i feel jeep need to recall this problem and fix it correct before someone get hurt bad. I have two daughters and i will not let them ride in my jeep until i find the correct way to fix it. My jeep has this problem at least 1 time a day.
