| Description of the problem | This happened twice on the same day. Vehicle was in motion at approximately 60 miles per hour entering highway when a bump was hit front end started to shake and shimmy all the way through the steering wheel. Almost had to completely stop the vehicle to get the shaking to stop. This is called the jeep death wobble. I had received a recall from fiat chrysler of america several months earlier to have my vehicle steering stabilizer replace. After a lot of research on this particular problem i think the vehicle manufacturer should be held liable for all front end damage done for the life of the vehicle in relation to this problem in engineering. I have seen many places where they say this problem will ruin your ball joints and your other linkages in your front end. They should inform the consumer of this problem at time of purchase. |
