| Description of the problem | "death wobble". I have been experiencing this problem for the past 3 years and have paid over $5,000 to resolve the problem. Because sheehy chrysler jeep in md went out of business, i had to take my jeep to another dealership, i chose leith chrysler in raleigh, nc) . Just got my vehicle out of the shop, leith chrysler jeep $2,374. 43 i paid. After 245 miles (from raleigh to washington, dc), the violent vibrations/shaking started again. Call the dealership and they advised me to take jeep to local chrysler jeep dealership, warranty on the repairs 12,000 miles to 24 months. Took the jeep to darcars marlow heights, they would not accept the other chrysler jeep dealers repairs because they said they used aftermarket parts. I called the chrysler corporate office and filed a complaint (case # 23448465) which was useless, they said they could not make another chrysler franchise warranty the repairs (the corporate office was useless). I paid and additional $270. 00 which leith complained to the dealership wanting to know why they charged so much after they ups |
