Consumer Description

TRAC BAR HAD TO BE REPLACED AFTER 74K. ALONG WITH THE REPLACEMENT, STEERING STABILIZER AND ALIGNMENT WAS REQUIRED. THIS WAS A COSTLY REPAIR. NOW, 20K LATER, TRAC BAR IS AGAIN NEEDING TO BE REPLACED. AFTER MUCH RESEARCH, THIS ISSUE IS EXPERIENCED BY A HUGE AMOUNT OF WRANGLER OWNERS, BUT CHRYSLER HAS NEVER ADDRESSED THE ISSUE. I LOVE MY JEEP, BUT AM UNSURE IF I WOULD BUY ANOTHER. THIS FLAW CREATES A HUGE HAZARD. THE ENTIRE FRONT END SHAKES UNCONTROLLABLY AND ESSENTIALLY BECOMES VERY HARD TO CONTROL. *TR
