| Description of the problem | At highway speed (50-70 mph) vehicle would shake violently after hitting a bump. Vehicle needs to come to a complete stop to correct the wobble. After a little on line research, i discovered "death wobble." service writers at both milosch palace jeep and al deeby jeep knew right away what i was talking about. I cannot believe there is not a safety recall for this. It seems everyone with knowledge of jeeps is aware of the issue. This is very dangerous on highwaysinterstates, especially for inexperienced drivers, because the vehicle needs to come to a stop to in order to stop the wobble. I am sure no one really cares what i have to say, but jeep is very dirty on this one. I am a 45 year mechanical engineer in the automotive field. Can someone please tell me why there has not been a safety recall for this? |
