| Description of the problem | While driving my 2007 jeep wrangler unlimited down the highway at 62 miles per hour, i drove over the very small bump that is created between the road and a small bridge. My jeep (with 37,000 miles on it) started to shake violently. The steering wheel was almost uncontrollable and the tires were losing contact with the road. I had to pull over and stop on the highway to regain control of my vehicle. This is what i now have come to know as the jeep "death wobble" . I have been trying to work with my dealer, but apparently everyone who owns a jeep knows about the problem - except jeep. This death wobble has happened about six times in the last three months. |
