| Description of the problem | 2006 jeep wrangler and the death wobble. Jeep has know about this condition for some time now and since my warranty is up and they could not find the problem before it was up, i am now stuck with it or pay alot of money for a issue that should have been addressed years ago by jeep. Every time i hit a small bump in the road at 60mph the jeep goes out of control and shakes the vehicle until you can come to a complete stop in the road and then its fine. All you have to do is google jeep and death wobble and you will see how many complaints are out there. |
