Consumer Description

AFTER HITTING A BUMP IN THE ROAD MY JEEP SHOOK VIOLENTLY. I STOPPED THE JEEP TO SEE IF SOMETHING BROKE. WHEN I STARTED DRIVING AGAIN EVERYTHING WAS FINE. I HAD IT CHECKED OUT AT JEEP BUT NOTHING WAS FOUND. AFTER MONTHS OF EVERYTHING BEING FINE I NOTICED A SHAKE IN THE STEERING WHEEL. TIRES WERE CHECKED AND FINE. NO ONE COULD EXPLAIN WHY THERE WAS VIBRATION AT SPEEDS AROUND 55 MPH. THIS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES AND THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE. A YEAR LATER I HIT A SMALL BUMP IN A CONSTRUCTION AREA ON THE HIGHWAY, THE SAME VIOLENT SHAKING HAPPENED. I WAS IN A CONSTRUCTION ZONE NEXT TO A DIESEL TRUCK WITH CONCERT BARRIER ON BOTH SIDES.I HAD A HARD TIME KEEPING CONTROL OF MY JEEP. THE DEATH WOBBLE IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM. IT HAS BEEN SAID THAT JEEP HAS COME UP WITH A BAND-AID FIX. WELL AFTER TAKING MY JEEP TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WITH ONLY 40,000 MILES ON MY JEEP(MY JEEP NOW OUT OF WARRANTY, I HAD AN EXTENDED WARRANTY) AND IT COST ME OVER 3,055.45 FOR THEM TO FIX THE DEATH WOBBLE. I DO HAVE AN INVOICE FOR THE CHARGES IT IS NOT ON ME AT THIS TIME.
