NHTSA Complaint #10496897 — 2008 JEEP WRANGLER 4-DR 4X2

WHILE DRIVING ON 1-20 ABOUT 60MPH, MY VEHICLE SUDDENLY BEGAN SHAKING VIOLENTLY AND STEERING WAS OUT OF CONTROL. I JUST BOUGHT MY 2008 JEEP AND GOT THE CAR FAX AND MAINTENANCE REPORT AND EVERYTHING LOOKED GOOD. IM GOING ON MY 3RD MONTH OWNING THIS USED 2008 JEEP & IT HAS HAPPENED 4 OTHER TIMES AGAIN, AND ONCE TO MY HUSBAND. SO A TOTAL OF 6 DIFFERENT TIMES. WE HAVE TAKEN IT TO MECHANICS SO THEY COULD TELL US WHAT IT COULD BE, AND I GET DIFFERENT ANSWERS. THEY TELL ME IT COULD BE THE STABILIZING BAR NEEDS CHANGING, OR NEED AN ALIGNMENT OR CHECK THE TIRE PRESSURE, OR I NEED TO CHANGE THE CONTROL ARM, OR THE STEERING SHAFT. I DON'T HAVE THIS KIND OF MONEY TO BE PUTTING INTO A VEHICLE THAT I JUST BOUGHT, AND WAS NOT CHEAP AND NO LONGER HAS WARRANTY DUE TO THE YEAR EXPIRATION. I DON'T THINK THIS IS A WEAR AND TEAR PROBLEM. SO MANY PEOPLE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM AND CLEARLY A SAFETY RELATED DEFECT THAT I THINK THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD CONSIDER THIS AS A RECALL AND FIX THIS PROBLEM FOR US. JEEPS HAVE A REPUTATION OF BEING DURABLE VEHICLES AND LAST A LONG TIME, BUT NOW WITH THIS PROBLEM, IM SCARED WHEN I GET IN MY JEEP. I DON'T' HAVE ANOTHER CAR TO USE AND DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO FIX THIS FACTORY PROBLEM. WE NEED YOUR INTERVENTION BECAUSE OUR HIGHWAYS AND THE OWNER OF THESE 2008 JEEPS ARE NOT SAFE AND PUTS MANY PEOPLE AT RISK EVERY DAY. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP US! *TR
