| Description of the problem | After hitting a bump in the road my jeep shook violently. I stopped the jeep to see if something broke. When i started driving again everything was fine. I had it checked out at jeep but nothing was found. After months of everything being fine i noticed a shake in the steering wheel. Tires were checked and fine. No one could explain why there was vibration at speeds around 55 mph. This happened a few times and they could not duplicate. A year later i hit a small bump in a construction area on the highway, the same violent shaking happened. I was in a construction zone next to a diesel truck with concert barrier on both sides. I had a hard time keeping control of my jeep. The death wobble is a very dangerous problem. It has been said that jeep has come up with a band-aid fix. Well after taking my jeep to the service department with only 40,000 miles on my jeep(my jeep now out of warranty, i had an extended warranty) and it cost me over 3,055. 45 for them to fix the death wobble. I do have an invoice for the charges it is not on me at this time. |
