NHTSA Complaint #10762368 — 2008 JEEP WRANGLER

IT HAS ONLY HAPPENED ONCE SO FAR, BUT IT WAS VERY SCARY. THE FRONT WHEELS BEGAN AN UNCONTROLLABLE WOBBLE. I WAS GOING 55-60 MPH AND HAD TO WRESTLE THE CAR OFF THE HIGHWAY AS IT WAS FIGHTING TO STAY ON ROAD. IT FELT LIKE THE FRONT WHEELS WERE FALLING OFF. THE CAR BEHIND ME ALMOST HIT ME. IT WAS FINE ONCE I STOPPED THE CAR AND HASN'T HAPPENED IN 2 WEEKS. UPON CHECKING THE INTERNET, THERE ARE A WHOLE LOT OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME THING HAPPENING TO THEM. THEY EVEN HAVE A NAME FOR IT, IT'S CALLED "THE JEEP DEATH WOBBLE" AND IT'S COMMON IN JEEPS WRANGLERS OF ALL AGES. AND MOST PEOPLE HAVE IT HAPPEN TO THEM SEVERAL TIMES. LOOK IT UP. I TALKED TO DEALERS AND CHRYSLER CORPORATE AND THEY ALL SAID "WE HAVE HEARD SOME STORIES, BUT DON'T HAVE A REAL FIX FOR IT.". THEY SAID IT COULD BE CAUSED BY "ADDING LIFTERS TO YOUR CAR", WHICH IS A JOKE, BECAUSE EVERYONE THAT WAS COMPLAINING ABOUT THE JEEP DEATH WOBBLE HAVE STOCK JEEPS AND ARE NOT TAKING THEM OFF-ROAD. IT'S AN ISSUE JEEP IS IGNORING UNTIL THERE IS A DEATH, WHICH IS BOUND TO HAPPEN SOON.
