As the jeep was brought up to speed it began shaking violently and out of control as the speed approached 50 mph. the shaking continued as i braked to a stop. the vehicle is unsafe to operate with this "death wobble". the problem is repeatable and happens at the same speed occasionally when bumps are hit. *tr
Jeep "death wobble" steering wheel oscillates violently back and forth at various speeds after hitting small bump in road, car taken to jeep dealer tsb which calls for larger steering stablizer installation done, all suspension parts found to be good including tires and balance, however, problem still occurs, fear for life for myself and family when driving car especially in winter. *tr
I have had this jeep in to the dealer 5 times now for the same problem. it is only 2 and a half years old. the first time i brought it in was approx 4 months after i bought the truck brand new. they have yet to fix the problem. when you drive approx. 55 mph on a highway, and possibly hit a little bump, the car will shake uncontrolably. you cannot hit the break or it gets worse but sometimes your forced to because you will crash otherwise. the whole front end wobbles to a point where you loose all control of the vehicle. the dealship stated the first time after it happened that they fixed it... the other two times they said the same thing . the fourth time they decided to say it was my tires. ( i dont know why they all of a sudden changed the problem). rotating the tires fixed the problem for about 6 months until i had to bring it in again and they now state they can't find anything wrong with it. but apparantly there is. very fed up with the whole situation. and very nervous driving the truck. *tt
The front axel is week and bent during off road use. jeeps are designed and sold for off road use. when i drove down a road with some ruts and dips the front axel bent causing the wheel alignment to be permanently off. *tr
