| Description of the problem | Driving onto highway. Speeding up to 35-40 mph. Just shifted to 4th gear. Whole vehicle began wobbling violently. Had to almost stop in the middle of the highway to get it stop shaking violently. Vehicle behind me had to swerve to miss me. Steep shoulder couldn't pull over. I think this is referred to as the "death wobble". Have read about numerous complaints of this with jeep wranglers on the internet after this happened today. I wish i would of known of this dangerous problem before i bought this vehicle. |
