| Description of the problem | Driving wrangler at 50 mph when the front end began to shake violently. This was very traumatic, i had to pull off the road. When i searched the internet, i found that this has been a recurring problem among jeep owners. Dealership didn't seem to know about problem. Dealer stated that the steering damper and stabilizer bar went bad. Of course these items were not covered by warranty. Jeep needs to acknowledge problem and fix it. Someone is going to die from this. Please google "death wobble"happened to my wife and children. Will not take kids in this vehicle. |
