| Description of the problem | The jeep has what has been termed the jeep death wobble. The jeep is all stock, not lifted at all. I have fired the parts cannon at the jeep... All the work has been performed by factory trained technicians using oe parts. I have changed the tires twice in 20,000 miles. The jeep gets a terrible wobble on the highway at 55mph (speed limit on 465 in indianapolis) and can only be brought under control by stopping the vehicle. Even though i have never been in an accident caused by the excessive wobble, it is definitely not safe to come to a complete stop on the highway. It's not always easy to pull over to the side of the road on a busy interstate highway. The fuel filler neck often overflows when filling the fuel tank also. There was a recall on some jeeps for this same problem. However, the jeep dealership said my specific jeep doesn't qualify for the fixing of the issue. It is definitely not safe to have a fuel filler neck that doesn't stop the fuel nozzle from flowing. |
