| Description of the problem | The vehicle shakes violently at speeds of 50mph or above. The shaking does not stop and i must immediately stop the vehicle which has almost caused major accidents. This first incident occurred two years ago, i have replaced the shocks, steering stabilizer, upper and lower ball joints, all four tires and have had it properly aligned. The problem will stop for a few months then suddenly happen again. After doing further research i realized this is called the death wobble and that i am not the only jeep owner to experience this. This violent shaking is a serious safety hazard and is not being addressed by jeep / chrysler as a warranty or recall issue. *js |
