NHTSA Complaint #10667844 — 2013 JEEP WRANGLER

AT 50 MPH I CROSSED A TRANSITION ON AN OVERPASS AT A 45 DEGREE ANGEL. THE STEERING WHEEL SHOOK SO HARD I COULD NOT KEEP MY HANDS ON IT. I HAVE HEARD OF THIS ISSUE CALLED THE "DEATH WOBBLE" BUT NEVER EXPERIENCED IT. THE WAY TO STOP IT IS TO TAP THE BREAKS BUT I COULD NOT BECAUSE I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE AND THERE WERE CARS BEHIND ME. IT FELT LIKE THE SUSPENSION HAD BROKEN AND I WAS GOING TO PULL OVER THERE WERE 2 LANES TO THE RIGHT WITH CARS COMING AT HIGHWAY SPEED. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALER AND TOOK MY JEEP IN THE NEXT NIGHT. THE CONFIRMED THEY KNOW ALL ABOUT THE DEATH WOBBLE BUT REFER TO IT AS THE STEERING DAMPER ISSUE. I CALLED JEEP AND THEY FILED AN EXPEDITED CLAIM PROCESS BUT DID NOT CALL ME BACK WHEN PROMISED. WHEN I CALLED AGAIN, THEY HAD SOMEONE CALL ME THE NEXT WORKING DAY. HE SAID HE HAS NEVER HEARD OF THE ISSUE. I QUESTIONED HIM ABOUT IT AND EXPLAINED THAT IT HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR YEARS. HE DID NOT OFFER TO DO ANY THING. HE HAD CALLED THE DEALERSHIP BUT HAD THE FACTS WRONG. HE IS SUPPOSED TO CALL ME BACK. *TR
