| Description of the problem | 2006 jeep wrangler: at about 11,500 miles, i noticed that a shudder started to develop in my front end and would vibrate up through the steering wheel at around 45 mph. It does not occur below 40 mph or above 50 mph. Now, at 12,000 miles, i have a violent shudder at 45 mph, that it feels like i'm about to lose control of the vehicle. This morning it was so bad that i had to brake in order to avoid hitting the car in the lane next to me. To me this seems like an incredibly dangerous situation. I have called my jeep service manager and i am currently waiting for a call back to get my vehicle in for service. Please note. This vehicle is 100 % stock from the dealer and has had no modifications, nor has it been in any accidents. |
