| Description of the problem | Traveling on an interstate at 65 mph and went across the metal strip just before a bridge. The front wheels started wobbling violently and the steering wheel shook bad as well. This happened two more times this trip at the same type of situation. The second time i tried to slow down to get the jeep to stop wobbling but an 18 wheeler was directly behind me and almost ran up the rear of my vehicle. I had three mishaps all the same on this trip. I use the jeep around town, but won't drive it at high speeds. I had the damper replaced in the jeep three days prior to this trip. This is the part that fca says causes the problem. I have another appointment next week to have the jeep checked out. The date this happened to me was nov. 8th, 2019. Being a first time owner of a jeep, i think i should have been made aware of this problem when i bought the jeep from the dealer. |
