Consumer Description

EVERY TIME SINCE FEBRUARY WHEN I HIT A BUMP THE JEEP STARTS SHAKING VIOLENTLY. I KEEP HEARING OF IT BEING THE JEEP DEATH WOBBLE. IT HAS TORN UP MY TIRES AND AFFECTED MANY PARTS AND NOW I CAN NOT EVEN HIT A BUMP AT 30 MPH WITHOUT IT STARTING TO SHAKE. NOT SURE WHAT TO DO TO FIX. I CALLED MY DEALER TO SEE WHAT THEY SUGGESTED AND THEY HAD NEVER HEARD OF THE JEEP DEATH WOBBLE WHICH CHRYSLER HAD APPARENTLY SENT OUT A NOTICE TO ALL COMPANIES ABOUT IT. I HAVE HEARD OF SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ON THIS. MY JEEP IS STOCK AND NEVER BEEN MODIFIED AND NEVER BEEN TAKEN OFF ROAD. IT IS A FAMILY VEHICLE AND NOW I JUST WANT TO GET RID OF IT! *TR
