| Description of the problem | While driving on the interstate, my jeep steering wheel and front of jeep will intermittently start shaking violently, causing me to have to slow down suddenly and pull over to the side of the road. It's very scary and i am afraid it may cause an accident because it happens so suddenly at a high speed. I purchased my jeep about a year ago from a chrysler dealer and within a week noticed it had a "popping" noise when backing up and then going forward. I have taken my jeep to this chrysler dealer 3 times to have this checked out. The first time, they told me i needed new brakes, so i had new brakes installed, but my jeep continues to make this "popping" noise. The last 2 times i took my jeep to this chrysler dealer, they insist there is nothing wrong with my jeep and they do not hear this noise. Now my jeep has had these episodes of violent shaking and i wonder if the two problems are connected. I have seen reports of a "jeep death wobble" and feel this is the same thing that i have had occur with my jeep. Is there any kind of recall for this problem? |
