| Description of the problem | I have a 2004 jeep wrangler columbia edition. I experience the "death wobble" phenomena that others in the complaint section have posted about. I can not drive my vehicle between 51-60 mph without it occurring. When it occurs i must either quickly accelerate above this range or slow down below it (depending on speed limit in area of course). Jeep did replace the steering stabilizer, which fixed the problem, but only for about 2-3 weeks. Jeep really needs to recall this and apply a permanent fix. This is extremely dangerous, when it happens the vehicle feels like the front tires will fly off at any moment. I am entering today's date as the incident date as this is ongoing, but has been going on for a long time now. |
