| Description of the problem | Yesterday while traveling with my 2 young grandchildren, i experienced something known as "death wobble", a violent vibration in the front end. It happened 3 times yesterday and twice today. All times i was traveling on a freeway at around 55 mph. It began to wobble as i entered a curve in the road. I was lucky enough to be able to slow and pull to the shoulder each time. The only way to make it stop is to stop the vehicle. I'm especially concerned because this also happened to my 2007 wrangler. Why has jeep not fixed this problem? It's both terrifying and expensive to fix. I will never purchase another jeep. |
