Consumer Description
WHILE EXITING A 55 MPH SPEED ZONE ONTO A 65MPH INTERSTATE HIGHWAY I EXPERIENCED EXTREME SHAKING IN THE FRONT END. THE JEEP ACTUALLY HOPPED ON THE ROAD FORCING ME TO PULL OVER. THIS HAS HAPPENED 4 MORE TIMES IN THE COURSE OF 1 MONTH. I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP AT MY DEALER. MY VEHICLE WAS IN THE SHOP FOR 1 WEEK IN WHICH THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED. THE SAME ISSUE BEGAN HAPPENING 3 DAYS AFTER I GOT IT BACK. I RETURNED IT TO THE DEALER EXPLAINING THE ISSUE AND BEGAN RESEARCHING ON MY OWN. I CAME ACROSS MANY INSTANCES OF THE SAME THING- DEATH WOBBLE. IT HAPPENS WHEN MY JEEP HITS 60-70 MPH CAUSING ME TO HAVE TO IMMEDIATELY STOP THE VEHICLE, USUALLY IN HIGH SPEED INTERSTATE TRAFFIC CAUSING DANGER TO MYSELF AND OTHER MOTORISTS. MY JEEP IS STOCK, SO THE EXCUSE ABOUT BEING LIFTED DOES NOT APPLY TO ME. IT SEEMS CHRYSLER KNOWS ABOUT THE ISSUE AND DOES NOTHING TO RECALL THE VEHICLES. I'M BEING TOLD THE PARTS/REPAIRS ARE NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. *TR
