| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | At speeds in the range of 45-50mph, and usually around 47mph, the steering wheel and front wheels will violently shake and wobble from side to side. The only way to recover is to either speed up or slow down. This seems to be a common problem with jeeps as there are youtube videos of the jeep "death wobble". It becomes very serious and could cause a person to lose control of the vehicle. This is an ongoing problem, and seems like something the manufacturer should address. |
