| Description of the problem | This jeep is a death trap and a money trap. My first incident occurred feb 16th, 2011 and cost 600. 00. Needed a new steering dampner which they replaced. Two months later same thing happens and they replace the same piece with the newer steering dampner. Two days ago the same thing happens again and now i need to spend more money to fix the same problem. Researched the issue and it's called "death wobble" had i known this existed i would never have bought this car, i feel so unsafe in this car. I will never buy another jeep and will tell everyone i know to not buy one. These cars should be recalled and fixed for free, and this company should be sued for making cars that are this unsafe. *js |
