| Description of the problem | I have what is known as a 'death wobble' at any time my jeep goes into a severe wobble of the front axle and steering. I was in 3rd gear going 30 mph slowing down for a stop sign, when the jeep went into the 'death wobble'. It is so severe it feels like the front end is going to break apart. The only way to stop this is to take your foot off the gas and put the manual transmission in neutral. My mechanic told me not to ever put your foot on the brake, because that can cause even more damage. My mechanic and i don't understand why jeep doesn't want to address this issue of safety. Jeep just told me that yes they have heard of this complaint but they usually know how to fix it. But it will cost me a lot of money. I feel they should be addressing this issue as what it truly is "a safety issue" |
