2005 Jeep WRANGLER Steering Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1330087

File date	05/11/15
Component	STEERING
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Jeep has severe death wobble when traveling @60 mph. Front wheels will start to vibrate violently at this speed and seems to start when hitting a bump or imperfection in road surface. Required action is to apply brakes until shaking stops which could involve a decrease in speed of 15 mph or more creating a dangerous situation especially in heavy traffic. I have had vehicle inspected at three shops with no worn components found. Had an alignment performed tires balanced track bar mount replaced control arm mount reinforced replaced steering stabilizer replaced tie rod end replaced sway bar links and still problem is no better. Jeep only has 49,000 miles so nothing is really worn too bad. This problem started roughly 10,000 miles ago and i am not sure what to do next other than replacing every steering and suspension component at a cost of probably a cost of thousands of dollars. From what i have read this is a common problem with the coil sprung jeeps with a track bar which seems to be a design flaw. Just want to add the vehicle is a safety hazard due to the fact you never know when the wobble will start and if you are in heavy traffic and all of a sudden you have to slam on the brakes to regain control of your vehicle it could be a very dangerous situation. Chrysler/jeep needs to remedy this engineering flaw not expect consumers to foot the bill.
