problem #3

Wrangler 6-cyl

  • miles
-at approximately fifty-five to sixty miles per hour, the vehicle's front end begins to shake violently. I have personally researched the problem and discovered that it is commonly called, "death wobble" amongst other Jeep owners. The issue typically occurs after hitting a bump in the road or driving around a bend on the highway. Since the first incident in early 2009, I have taken the vehicle to a number of different local mechanics for a diagnosis and have heard different suggested courses of action from each one. I have had a number of components replaced on the vehicle including, but not limited to the (1) tracking bar, (2) U-joints, (3) steering dampener etc. I have also had an entire new set of tires replaced on the vehicle. Although replacing the tracking bar worked temporarily, the problem soon returned after adding an additional 10,000 - 15,000 miles to the vehicle. -although many other Jeep owners have reported the same issue over the years, no action has been taken in the form of a recall from the former "DaimlerChrysler ag" or its successor "Chrysler group L.L.C." or it's subsidiary "Jeep corporation."
