Consumer Description

ON 7/9/16 AND 7/19/16, I WAS DRIVING ON I95 AND MY CAR STARTED THE "DEATH WOBBLE" - UNCONTROLLABLE INTENSE SHAKING THAT I ALMOST GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT. THE ONLY THING THAT STOPS, I DISCOVERED RECENTLY, IT IS TO SLOW DOWN TO A STOP, WHICH IS PRETTY DIFFICULT ON A HIGHWAY WITHOUT GETTING REAR ENDED OR INTO AN ACCIDENT. THIS APPARENTLY IS COMMON AMONG JEEPS, ESPECIALLY WRANGLERS, BUT IT SHOULD BE FIXED BY CHRYSLER. THIS IS REALLY DANGEROUS!!
