NHTSA Complaint #10502281 — 2010 JEEP WRANGLER

OCTOBER 2009 I PURCHASED A 2010 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED FROM SOUTHERN HOSPITALITY IN CHESAPEAKE, VIRGINIA. THIS WAS MY DREAM JEEP- LIFT KIT, SIDE BARS, SUPREME STEREO SYSTEM, AND THE WORKS. THIS DREAM JEEP HAS TURNED INTO A NIGHTMARE WITH A DEATH WOBBLE THAT KEEPS COMING BACK. I SHARE THIS JEEP WITH MY 17 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WHO HERSELF HAS EXPERIENCED THE DEATH WOBBLE, A PHONE CALL FROM THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY THAT SCARED ME TO DEATH. BELOW IS THE LIST OF DATES AND MILEAGE IN WHICH I HAVE RETURNED THIS JEEP TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THEM TO FIX, BUT EACH TIME THEY RETURN IT TO ME THE WOBBLE RETURNS. I FEEL AS IF I AM CONTINUALLY PUTTING MYSELF AND MY DAUGHTER AT RISK BUT DUE TO A DIVORCE MY FINANCES DO NOT ALLOW ME TO PURCHASE A NEW JEEP? EVEN THOUGH EVERY PAYMENT HAS BEEN MADE ON THIS JEEP.
