 Description of the problemI was driving vehicle on major highway at approx. 60 mph when i hit a couple bumps in the road, the vehicle steering wheel starting shimming very hard, the vehicle starting wobbling out of control, had to bring the vehicle to a complete stop to get the wobbling and shaking to stop. Took vehicle to the dealership where i purchased it they told me the steering dampener was bad and they replaced it. The second time this happened was approx. 05/02/12 with 26,014 miles exact same thing happened, took vehicle back to dealership and was told again steering dampener was bad and they replaced it,this time the dealership service manager told me that this has been going on for a while with jeeps and was called the "death wobble". Again approx. 07/31/12 with 31,306 miles this uncontrollable wobble happened again,back to the dealership, called jeep case management, they told me the dealership would have to find out what was making the dampners go out, the dealership replaced the dampener and front trac bar,re-aligned the front end. I have now opened a new case with jeep management again for the exact problem, 10/15/12 the vehicle is back at the dealership with 33,900 miles with same problem. Jeep case management says they are going to replace the tires to see if that's the problem now,but refuses to pay for the tires,claiming they don't make the tires, even though if now the tires are part of the problem of their front end parts being bad causing damage to the tires. This is an ongoing problem that the national transportation safety department needs to force chrysler into a recall to fix this problem before anyone else has an accident or dies from. Chrysler is not fixing the problem, they just change the parts out until your warranty expires, chrysler should inform buyers of this problem before it is purchased. This vehicle is all stock parts, not oversized tires or lifted.
