Consumer Description

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT APPROX 50MPH, HIT A SMALL BUMP AND THE JEEP STARTED TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY BACK AND FORTH. I HAD TO GRAB THE WHEEL WITH BOTH HANDS PUSH ON THE BRAKE. I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, THINKING MY TIRE HAD FALLEN OFF (EVERYTHING WAS STILL THERE). WHEN I GOT HOME I DID SOME RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH JEEPS, THEY HAVE LABELLED IT "JEEP DEATH WOBBLE". I LIVE IN YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK, WHICH HAS WINDY ROADS WITH NO GUARD RAILS. IF THIS HAPPENS AGAIN WHILE DRIVING ON TIOGA RD. I DON'T DOUBT IT COULD END IN A FATALITY. THIS "DEATH WOBBLE" NOW HAS ME SCARED TO DRIVE MY JEEP AND I'M NOT THE ONLY JEEP OWNER THAT FEELS THE SAME WAY. *TR
