| Description of the problem | At about 2400 miles my unlimited sahara has begun doing the jeep death wobble when speeds are over 50 mph and a small bump is hit i have taken it to the dealership twice and they told me it is safe to drive and they replaced the steering damper. The problem is still happening and there is so much play in the steering wheel that i do not feel safe driving my brand new jeep ... It is all over the road at highway speeds requires constant correction in steering when a small bump is hit on side roads at low speeds car feels like it is going to fall apart i have owned wranglers in the past and have never had this happen and never felt unsafe *dt *jb |
