This Problem Across All Years
JEEP DEATH WOBBLE BREAKING FRONT CONTROL ARM AND TRACK BAR BRACKET CAUSING LOSS OF STEERING SHOOTING THE VEHICLE ACROSS 2 LANES ROAD, THANKFULLY NO ON COMING TRAFFIC AND WAS ABLE TO STOP VEHICLE IN GRASS PRIOR TO THE DITCH. SECOND EPISODE OF THIS, 1ST EPISODE THAT CAUSED BRACKET FAILURE AND THE BRACKET WAS FIXED, ALIGNMENT AND ALL FRONT SUSPENSION COMPONENTS WERE CHECKED, JEEP CONTINUES TO DO DEATH WOBBLE AND IS A HAZARD TO DRIVE. THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED AT ABOUT 51 MPH, PREVIOUS INCIDENTS HAVE HAPPENED WITH OUT EQUIPMENT FAILURE RANGING FROM 45MPH - 52MPH. I AM AFRAID THAT INJURIES WILL HAPPEN IF CHRYSLER DOES NOT ADDRESS THIS MATTER AS IT IS WELL DOCUMENTED ON THE INTERNET WITH 2007-2012 JEEP WRANGLERS AND IT BEING A MANUFACTURER'S FLAW ON THESE MODELS.

IT'S THE 5TH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. WHILE DRIVING MY JEEP WRANGLER AT MORE THAN 45 MILES AN HOUR THE FRONT END BEGINS TO SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY. I BEGIN TO LOSE CONTROL. I HAVE TO APPLY BRAKES AND NEARLY STOP AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS CAUSING SAFETY ISSUES FOR OTHER DRIVERS. CHRYSLER HAS ADMITTED TO THE ISSUE AND HAS ISSUED A SERVICE BULLETIN 19-002-12. THIS FIRST HAPPENED WHEN MY JEEP WAS UNDER WARRANTY AND THEY FIXED IT. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN. *TT

I WAS DRIVING ON A 4 LANE HIGHWAY AT 60MPH WHEN THE CAR STARTED VIBRATING SO VIOLENTLY I THOUGHT I HAD LOST A WHEEL. I COULD BARELY CONTROL THE CAR AND WAS SURROUNDED BY 18 WHEELERS. I WAS HORRIFIED. I PULLED ONTO THE SHOULDER AND GOT OUT EXPECTING TO SEE A FLAT TIRE BUT EVERYTHING LOOKED FINE. I GOT BACK IN AND DROVE DOWN THE ROAD ONLY TO HAVE IT HAPPEN AGAIN WHEN I WENT OVER 55MPH. I CALLED EMERGENCY SERVICE AND HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY "FIXED" IT AND CHARGED ME FOR THE WORK DONE. BUT WHEN I DROVE IT AGAIN AT 53MPH WHEN I HIT A BUMP IT STARTED VIBRATING AGAIN. I NOW NEVER DRIVE OVER 50MPH OVER THE FEAR OF IT HAPPENING AGAIN. I LOOKED IT UP ON THE INTERNET AND IT IS CALLED DEATH WOBBLE AND JEEP WILL NOT HELP US. I HAVE NOT ALTERED MY VEHICLE AT ALL. THIS IS A DANGEROUS DEFECT AND NEEDS A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE DIES. PLEASE DO SOMETHING BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE. IT IS LIKE DRIVING ON THE WORST WASHBOARD ROAD YOU EVER SAW AT 60MPH SURROUNDED BY TRAFFIC. IT IS A RECIPE FOR DISASTER. THE CAR SHAKES SO VIOLENTLY THAT THE WHEELS WOBBLE. PLEASE LOOK IT UP ON THE INTERNET. A REPORTER IN CALIFORNIA DID A STORY ON IT. PLEASE DO A RECALL. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING JEEPS SINCE 1986 AND THIS IS THE 4TH JEEP I HAVE OWNED. THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED TO ME BEFORE. MY LAST JEEP HAD 131,000 MILES ON IT AND I HAD NO PROBLEMS. JEEP HAS OBVIOUSLY CHANGED THE DESIGN OR IS USING CHEAPER PARTS. THIS IS NOT GOOD FOR THE JEEP BRAND. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE ROADWAY AND I HIT A BUMP THE STEERING WHEEL AND TIRES BEGIN VIOLENTLY SHAKING. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS FOR OVER A YEAR AND HAVE REPLACED SEVERAL THINGS IN MY FRONT END WITHOUT LUCK. MY JEEP WAS COMPLETELY STOCK PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT. THIS HAPPENS MORE OFTEN DURING THE WINTER AS I HAVE PUT UP WITH THIS FOR THE SECOND WINTER NOW. I HAVE TAKEN THE JEEP TO 2 DEALERSHIPS IN MY AREA AND THEY BOTH TOLD ME THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THE PROBLEM. AS EVERYONE KNOWS THAT HAS EXPERIENCED THE "DEATH WOBBLE" BEFORE IT IS EXTREMELY COMMON AND JEEP WONT ADMIT TO THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM AND WILL INJURE SOMEONE SOONER OR LATER. SADLY MY FELLOW JEEP OWNERS AND I, LOVE OUR JEEPS AND JUST CONTINUE TO PUT UP WITH THE PROBLEM. PLEASE HELP US PUSH JEEP INTO FIXING OUR JEEPS AND REDESIGNING FUTURE JEEPS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER X. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE 300. THERE WAS A DEEP CHANNEL THAT WAS IN THE OUTER RING OF THE WHEEL . THE SPACE WAS LARGE AND IT COLLECTED WATER AND DEBRIS. WHILE DRIVING ALL OF THE DEBRIS FROM THE ROAD WAS IN THE WHEEL, AND THIS CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO DRIVE IN A WEIRD WAY. WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS OF 55 MPH THE WHEEL LAUNCHED A PIECE OF DEBRIS. THE DEALER AGREED THAT THERE WAS A MAJOR DESIGN PROBLEM, AND TOLD HIM JUST TO BE CAREFUL WHILE DRIVING AT ELEVATED SPEEDS. DAIMLER/CHRYSLER STATED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THAT THEY COULD DO ABOUT THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THERE WAS NO PART TO SERVICE THE DEFECT. DURING TESTING OF THE VEHICLE THE MANUFACTURER NOTICED THAT THE REAR COIL SPRINGS WERE WEAK. *AK UPDATED 07/06/07.*JB
