| Description of the problem | I bought the jeep with 3k miles, after 6500 miles i noticed my tires were not wearing correctly, i was told i needed to have them rotated more often & it would eliminate that, while it was there they fixed the recalled steering damper. After a couple of weeks i started having issues with my air, the dealer told me it was normal per chrysler. I explained what was happening was not what chrysler stated. After dealing with this, i started noticing my jeep shaking when i would cross over certain bridges. Took back to the dealership, they said i needed a front end alignment & after convincing them that my air was not right they decided to fix the integrated censor. After keeping my jeep over a week when i picked it up, it was worse than when i dropped it off. They told me to take it back due to the tires needed to be balanced, in the meantime every bump in the road i would hit it would shake uncontrollable. It really scares me especially when i am on the hwy going 70, hit a bump, the only way to stop it is to slow down a ridiculous speed, with cars/trucks going 70+ on the hwy, i can get rear ended. I have called the dealership again & was told basically this was a normal thing with jeeps & there is nothing they can do. They checked the suspension & since they replaced the steering damper they have done all they can, i pretty much have to deal with it, however they did offer a few names of companies that will "fix" this for me. After reading forums i am discovering this is a huge issue, chrysler/jeep really needs to own & fix this. I shouldnt have to buy a vehicle & just accept a death wobble as part of the ownership, especially if you know this is happening & what is causing this issue. All i want is it fixed that is all & i shouldnt have to fork out the money to get that done. |
