| Description of the problem | I am experiencing the wrangler death wobble. Going over 60 hitting uneven pavement and front end shakes. I first reported issue to dealer as loose steering around 5000 miles. Now at 18000 full blown wobble. They performed the steering dampner recall which only made it worse. Went back to dealer said they re adjusted dampner. Driving home same issue again back to dealer. Said they are having one of the jeep representatives coming to look at it. I have been through this before with my 2010 wrangle but that had over 85k miles. Having to abruptly slow down when you are in highway traffic to 40 or less from 70 -75 is a safety hazard. |
