| Description of the problem | Hello, i own a 2005 jeep wrangler unlimited. While driving on the highway, trying to "maintain" the proper speed limit, my jeep will develop a death wobble to the front end. This erratic and almost uncontrollable behavior occurs at anywhere from 55 to 60mph. After trying to research the solution to this problem, i have noticed multiple other jeep owners having the same issue. My jeep is my daily driver, and also is used to transport my 4 and 5 year old kids around. Due to the economy i can not afford to purchase another vehicle, nor will i sell these problems to someone else. I am surprised there hasn't been more highway related incidents/fatalities due to this issue. Any help will be greatly appreciated in solving this issue. Dealerships are no help and i cant afford to replace the whole front end just to end up with the same problems. Thank you for your time in this matter, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6). |
