| Description of the problem | 2018 jeep wranger jl sport 2 door has 1500 miles, stock from the factory, no modifications and i experienced the "death wobble" on the highway - at about 70 mph i went over a bump in the highway and the jeep started shaking violently, luckily no one around me and as i slowed to approx 40 mph it stopped. I pulled off to check everything. I had never heard of this so clearly i was very shook up. I have since called the dealer i bought it from and they are going to take a look next week. Very concerned about the safety! |
