| Description of the problem | Driving westbound on m-59 in hartland, mi i hit a very small bump in the road and the jeep started to shudder very violently. I had to pull over to the side of the road and stop in order for the shudder to go away. After doing much research on the internet, i have now found out that this is called the death wobble and is a highly common problem that chrysler is aware of and has not done anything to let the public know of the issue. |
