Consumer Description
WHILE TRAVELING ON A HIGHWAY OR A HIGH SPEED SERVICE ROAD, MY JEEP WILL BEGIN TO SHAKE TREMENDOUSLY. I HAVE RESEARCHED AND FOUND THIS IS KNOWN AS THE "DEATH WOBBLE." I AM A YOUNGER DRIVER AND WHEN THE FIRST INCIDENT HAPPENED, I BEGAN TO FREAK. ALTHOUGH NOT VERY MANY ACCIDENTS ACTUALLY OCCUR I AM STILL SCARED THAT IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. SOMETIMES I CAN FEEL IT COMING ON BUT NOTHING EVER HAPPENS. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES IN A WEEK AND A HALF, ONCE AT 67MPH, ONCE AT 60MPH, AND ONCE AT 55MPH. THIS IS A VERY SCARY EVENT AND I HOPE TO GET IT FIXED SOON. I WISH THAT YOU WOULD TAKE THE TIME TO LOOK OVER THIS INCIDENT AND FIX IT. ONCE AGAIN BEING A YOUNG DRIVER THIS IS VERY SCARY. I HAVE HAD MY JEEP FOR A YEAR AND 2 MONTHS AND THIS IS THE FIRST TIME IT HAS HAPPENED. *TR
