Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING ON THE GARDEN STATE PARKWAY THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE BEGAN SHAKING VIOLENTLY. ONCE THE SHAKLING BEGAN THE VEHICLE WAS TOTALLY OUT OF CONTROL. ONCE I SLOWED TO 45 MPH THE SHAKING STOPPED HOWEVER DURING THIS TIME THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVING ITSELF. THANKFULLY THERE WAS NO CRASH AND I WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE DRIVING. THE NEXT DAY DURING MY COMMUTE THE SAME EXACT THING HAPPEN. A CHECK OF THE VEHICLE REVEALS NO WORN PARTS INCLUDING THE TIRES AND TIE RODS. A CHECK OF THE INTERNET SHOWS THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND REFERRED TO AS THE "DEATH WOBBLE" AND WAS EVEN THE SUBJECT OF DISCUSSION ON THE NEWS. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND WILL LEAD TO ACCIDENTS AND INJURIES. THIS MATTER THAT CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF NEEDS MORE ATTENTION AND A RECALL SHOULD BE ANNOUNCED. I AM TOLD THAT THE TRACK BAR IS THE PROBLEM AND WILL BE REPAIRED ASAP *CN
