NHTSA Complaint #10410143 — 2005 JEEP WRANGLER

DRIVING OVER UNEVEN ROAD SURFACES, MAN HOLE COVERS, POT HOLES, EXPANSION JOINTS IN CONCRETE, OR ANY RIPPLES IN THE ROAD SURFACE, WHAT IS COMMONLY KNOWN AS "DEATH WOBBLE" OCCURS. THIS IS AN UNCONTROLLABLE LEFT AND RIGHT PROGRESSIVE WOBBLE OF THE FRONT WHEELS. THIS WOBBLE DOES NOT STOP UNTIL THE VEHICLE IS SLOWED DOWN TO APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH. PARTS REPLACED HAVE BEEN THE STEERING STABILIZER, TRACK BAR BUSHINGS, PITMAN ARM AND PITMAN TIE ROD END, TIRES, TIRES BALANCED THREE TIMES (TWICE IN TWO WEEKS), ALIGNMENT PERFORMED TWICE, AND STEERING GEAR BOX ADJUSTED. TWO DIFFERENT JEEP DEALERSHIPS CLAIM THE STABILIZER IS THE PROBLEM, AND THE ONE REPLACED MUST BE FAULTY. DO THE RESEARCH, THE STEERING STABILIZER IS NOT THE PROBLEM... ONLY A MASK. THE "DEATH WOBBLE" HAPPENS DAILY. USUALLY MULTIPLE TIMES. *TR
