Consumer Description

JEEP DEATH WOBBLE - NOTED ON MANY JEEP FORUMS, WRANGLERS ARE NOTORIOUS FOR THIS. DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT APPROX. 70 MPH, ACCELERATING SWIFTLY WHEN ENTERING A FREEWAY ON-RAMP, ON SURFACE STREETS WITH POTHOLES AND/OR BUMPY RIDE - THE VEHICLE BEGINS TO SHAKE VIGOROUSLY AND LOUDLY. THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES AND AS WELL AS THE WHOLE FRONT DASH - LITERALLY FEELS LIKE YOUR VEHICLE WILL BREAK IN HALF. THE ONLY WAY TO STABILIZE IS TO BRING SPEED DOWN TO 20-30 MPH. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS, ESPECIALLY ON THE FREEWAY. I HAD TO DRIVE WITH MY HAZARDS ON AT 30 MPH ON THE FREEWAY IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE.
