| Description of the problem | Since i bought my jeep i've taken it back twice for the death wobble. Less than a year ago was the first time and they replaced the steering damper. It was fine for a few months and started again. Having to work i wasn't able to take it back in. The wobble got so bad i was scared when it would start. It had such a violent shake when i would hit a bump on the freeway i would have to reduce speed on the freeway fast which causes it's own set of issues. I just took it in again and they did the recall on the steering damper again. I told them you did it less than a year ago. I got the jeep back this week and my first drive on the freeway i can already feel that it is still going to be a issue. What will happen when it's snowing and icy on the freeway and the death wobble happens? Fca may really have a death on their hands then. You don't get much for 50,000 anymore. This should be stopped before these jeeps kill people. |
