Consumer Description

THE VEHICLE HAS THE NOTORIOUS DEATH WOBBLE, IN THAT ON CERTAIN DOWNHILL GRADES AND OR HITTING A SERIES OF SMALL BUMPS BETWEEN 45 -55 MPH THE FRONT END VIOLENTLY BEGINS TO WOBBLE, THE CAB BEGINS ROCKING, THE STEERING WHEEL IS OUT OF CONTROL, AND AFTER BRAKING TO 35MPH CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE IS REGAINED. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN ALTERED IN ANY WAY FROM THE FACTORY. IT WAS PURCHASED WITH 12 MILES ON ODOMETER AND KNOW HAS 28.889 MILES. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN SERVICE AT THE DEALER NUMEROUS TIME FOR REPAIRS, AND EACH TIME THE DEALER SAYS THAT SHOULD SOLVE THE PROBLEM, BUT DOES NOT, IN FACT THE JEEP GOES BACK IN NEXT MONDAY FOR FURTHER REPAIRS. I'VE CONTACTED JEEP TWICE TO NO AVAIL, THEY PRETEND TO NEVER HAVE HEARD OF THE PROBLEM AS DOES THE DEALER ALTHOUGH THEY STILL FIND SOMETHING TO REPAIR BUT NEVER FULLY FIXING THE PROBLEM. IF ONE GOES TO GOOGLE AND TYPES IN DEATH WOBBLE UP COME JEEP, WITH VIDEOS OF THE WOBBLE BUT I GUESS THEY DON'T HAVE INTERNET ACCESS FOR THEIR EYES GLAZE OVER IN INCOMPREHENSION AND DENIAL. IS THERE A SOLUTION FOR THIS? I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THIS VEHICLE.
