problem #4

Dec 132016

Grand Cherokee 4.0L I6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 195,000 miles

DEATH WOBBLE used to only start at about 70 MPH and when hitting bridge abutments. Has gotten worse as time goes by so that now it can occur at 45 MPH. Seems as though it's caused by road conditions but have had it start on smooth road at 55 MPH.

Grand Cherokee Laredo 4.0L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 187,000 miles

I started experiencing this about 2 weeks ago and it will cause an accident if it occurs on the freeway! I am afraid to even go over 50! The shake is a violent shake that feels like my front tires are going to fall off my truck!!!!

Grand Cherokee Lorado 6

I actually have begun to rent a car till I can find someone to fix this. I don't have tons of money, this is eating into my savings big time. I've already dumped about $500 into the car and it's not fixed yet. WHY THE HELL ISN'T THERE A F**KING RECALL ON THIS ISSUE? ARE THEY WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO GET KILLED????

problem #1

Grand Cherokee Laredo 4.0L V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 155,000 miles

Experienced the "Death Wobble" going 55 mph.

The entire front end of my Jeep shook violently making it difficult to control the vehicle..

I experience this issue weekly and am not sure what is causing it?

It typically happens between 45 and 55 mph.
