| Description of the problem | Follow up to safety issue id 11164549 (stock vehicle) dealership replaced steering damper per "star" recommendation at 2830 miles due to complaint of "wobble". I have driven without an issue until last week at 8450 miles when i hit a transition/bump in the road. Jeep "wobbles" all over the road and doesn't stop until speeds are below at least 40 mph- not exactly safe to do on the freeway! Took jeep back to dealership and they (again) replaced damper today (recall part v-41). First bump in the road and the jeep started to wobble. Waiting for a response from the dealership. This vehicle is not safe to drive and this recall is pointless! Paperwork from the dealership states: "the factory recall concerns a significant safety or operational issues. There is risk to you and others should you drive the vehicle without the factory recall services being completed. We advise you therefore not to drive the vehicle until the factory recall is performed. So, recall done.... Apparently it's still not safe!! |
