| Description of the problem | Every time since february when i hit a bump the jeep starts shaking violently. I keep hearing of it being the jeep death wobble. It has torn up my tires and affected many parts and now i can not even hit a bump at 30 mph without it starting to shake. Not sure what to do to fix. I called my dealer to see what they suggested and they had never heard of the jeep death wobble which chrysler had apparently sent out a notice to all companies about it. I have heard of several complaints on this. My jeep is stock and never been modified and never been taken off road. It is a family vehicle and now i just want to get rid of it! |
