| Description of the problem | My 2018 jeep jl has had non stop issues with the "death wobble" so much that i have had to park this vehicle and not drive it . It has been in three times for repairs , each time promised a fix would occur. Last week i was driving on the interstate between work and home, and i hit a regular uneven pavement one would drive over everyday , and the vehicle resonated so much that it pushed me into the left lane.. Luckily no one was there but decided to park the vehicle till the next scheduled fix on 11/18. After receiving the vehicle back the instability is still there and resonates when going over any unevenness in roads. I have created a case with jeep waive (case number 68188061) and called jim cogdill dodge dealership in knoxville tn whom has repaired the front end the last three times . I was told on 11/22 that the dealership just got notice by a official chrysler notification that the recall fix for the death wobble is not fixing the instability in the front end ,and in some cases making it worse. They have been told to stop fixing the cars until a new part/fix is released by chrysler. I now have a car that i cannot drive, purchase new just last year and have lost all trust in the safety of this car. I am looking for help to solution and help others whom are in my same situation. Additionally, my vehicle computer has messed up and is showing almost 1 million miles (999,999) . This complaint is also part of my case as i cannot sale my vehicle, or be legal with the odometer in current status. |
