Consumer Description

AS I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 55 MPH THE FRONT END STARTED TO WOBBLE VERY VIOLENTLY, I SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES AND IT STOPPED, THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AND IS VERY SCARY AND DANGERS THING. I HAVE 3 SONS WHO ALSO EACH HAVE JEEP WRANGLERS AND THIS HAS ALSO HAPPENED TO THEM REPEATEDLY. I HAVE ALSO TALKED TO SEVERAL OTHER JEEP OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS SEEMS TO BE A DESIGN FLAW THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN FIXED LONG AGO. I HAVE READ ONLINE THAT THERE HAS BEEN A LOT OF COMPLAINTS MADE TO THE GOVERNMENT AND CHRYSLER WITH NO RESULTS. THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED AND FIXED BEFORE PEOPLE ARE KILLED. *TR
