| Description of the problem | 2006 jeep wrangler- at 65,000 miles developed what is known as the "death wobble". I have spent over $1500. 00 trying to correct this problem and still at 50- 65 miles per hour develops a violent shake that fells as though the front wheel will fly off the vehicle- the only thing to do is slow down. Now due to this problem other parts of this vehicle are breaking including the front hood latch that allows the hood to fly up into the windshield. I can not believe that there has not been a recall of this dangerous and potentially deadly vehicle. |
