| Description of the problem | At 60 mph my jeep started violently shake. I had to pull off the interstate in the emergency lane. This has happened over 10 times. I took it to the dealer and he said ball joints and steering damper was bad. $1,100. 00 to fix it. It is still not steering correctly. There is a popping in the steering wheel and shakes somewhat when i hit a bump in the road. This is very dangerous. I had no idea there was a death wobble in the jeep i loved so much. I will be trading the jeep for a different suv after i get the wobble fixed again. I am expecting a grand baby in dec and there is no way i will put it in the jeep. |
