| Description of the problem | I purchased this vehicle used with 7907 miles on it. Within four months i experienced the front end shake violently when i hit a bump. I thought it was just a one time occurrence caused by being in a curve when it happened. But this has happened six or seven times in the past year with two occurrences in the same day, yesterday 11-1-11. I have found a location on interstate highway i-294 where at 55mph it will occur when ever i am in the right lane. I have not taken the car to a dealer yet because it only has 27000 miles on it and everything looks tight in the front end. The vehicle is completely stock and has never been driver off road. After researching the internet for similar complaints i found many people experiencing the same trouble. It is described as "death wobble". I believe this issue should be looked at by the ntsb. With so many jeep wrangler owners having the same trouble, there may be design fault. |
