Consumer Description

I HAD ALREADY EXPERIENCED THE DEATH WOBBLE IN MY JEEP PRIOR TO TODAY'S DATE, I HAD EVERYTHING UNDER THE FRONT END TIGHTENED AND THE FRONT TRACK BAR REPLACED, COST, APPROXIMATELY 700 DOLLARS. THE TRACK BAR WAS REPLACED APRIL 30 2015, TODAY MAY 1 2015 I GOT ON THE HIGHWAY RAMP AS SOON. AS I HIT 65 AND A BUMP THE JEEP BEGAN TO GO INTO A VIOLENT SHAKING. IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN CONTROL I HAD TO GRIP THE STEERING WHEEL VERY TIGHT, WHITE KNUCKLE, AND PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY DURING MORNING RUSH HOUR. AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP THE WOBBLE STOPPED. I BRIGHT TO JEEP AND THE SAID PROBABLY THE STEERING. THE CALLED ME LATER AND SAID IT WAS THE UPPER LOWER BALL JOINTS, TIE RODS, ALIGNMENT, AND STEERING. 2200 BUCKS. FOR A CAR THAT'S ONLY A FEW YEARS OLD NO REASON SOMETHING LIKE THE BALL JOINTS SHOULD BE THAT WORN OR THAT I SHOULD EXPERIENCE A DEATH WOBBLE IN THE FIRST PLACE. I DON'T OFF ROAD, MY CAR IS NOT LIFTED. JEEP IS NOT WILLING TO PAY ANY OF THE REPAIR EVEN THOUGHT THE CAR IS LIKE BRAND NEW. *TR
