| Description of the problem | While driving at 65 mph, my jeep started shaking uncontrollably and violently. I had no control in the car, the only thing i could do was push the brakes. I pulled my 6 speed jeep into neutral and started slowing down and letting it glide to the side of the road. Still shaking as i am slowing down, the jeep feels like the whole front end is going to shake apart. All cars behind me slammed on their brakes because they saw i had no control of my jeep. A state police trooper followed me to the dealership. There is no broken axles, loose tires, tire pressure is good. They said they could not find anything in the "express service center". This is a 2010 wrangler with 75,000 miles that is driven on the highway daily for educational purposes. There must be something done about this "death wobble". |
