| Description of the problem | Our jeep has 8000 miles on the odometer. At highway speeds, when the tires would hit a bump, the vehicle would start to vibrate severely, what others have been calling the "death wobble." this happened numerous times over the past month. Applying the brakes caused the shaking to stop. It's a very scary feeling. I took the vehicle to the dealership and i was given a loaner to drive, as the tech said my jeep wrangler was unsafe to drive and the steering damper needed replacing. The part is on backorder. |
