| Description of the problem | Experience dangerous front wheel wobble when minor pavement bumps or deformations are hit at between 40-45mph. Was fixed once several years ago at owner expense by dealer (replace front dampener). Now is showing early signs of the deficiency returning at less than 50,000 miles. Tires are very well maintenanced and are rotated / balanced per tire manufacturer recommendation (complete receipts available). Vehicle has very low (almost non-existent) off-road use. I am the original owner of the vehicle and have a completely documented history. I also have over 34 years driving experience. The front dampener should not require replacement every 20-25k miles at around $450 / per occurrence. This appears to be a regularly recurring problem over several years with almost all wranglers. If this doesn't warrant a recall, what exactly does???? Come on now.... |
