| Description of the problem | Front end shakes violently. This has happened before, usually when the jeep is approaching 50 mph on the highway. Feels like the jeep is going to explode. Putting on the brakes, and praying, and down shifting from 5th to 4th, and praying, and eventually slowing down to below 40 is the only thing that allows the vehicle to stop shaking. This apparently has been reported many, many times, and is known as the "death wobble". Is there a governmental cover-up about this? How is this known issue allowed to go un-addressed? |
