2008 JEEP WRANGLER, DRIVING WHEN HIT A BUMP, FRONT END BEGAN SHAKING VIOLENTLY. WITH A DOZEN OR SO VEHICLES BEHIND ME, AT 55 MPH HAD TO QUICKLY PULL OFF THE ROAD TO AVOID A PILE UP. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO US ON 2 DIFFERENT JEEPS, A 98 WRANGLER AND THIS 08. THIS 08 HAS ALMOST MEW TIRES AND THE FRONT END IS STILL TIGHT. THIS IS THE MOST RECENT OF SEVERAL TIMES THE JEEP HAS BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY IN THE LAST YEAR. *TR

DEATH WOBBLE 2008 JEEP WRANGLER. BOUGHT VEHICLE IN OCT 2011, 5 OCCURRANCES OF DEATH WOBBLE, ALL ON FREEWAYS THROUGH JAN 10TH 2012. ONLY RECOURSE IS TO PULL OVER & STOP AFTER HITTING A BUMP OR GROOVE IN THE ROAD. NEWTONS LAW, EVERY ACTION CAUSES A REACTION. FRONT WHEELS WILL START SHAKING BEGIN GRADUALLY THEN VIOLANTLY UNTIL YOU CAN LUCKILY PULL OVER & STOP. ONCE STOPPED, YOU CAN START AGAIN & NOT EXPERIENCE IT AGAIN FOR WEEKS & THEN IT HAPPENS AGAIN WHENEVER YOU LEAST EXPECT IT. VERY HARD TO EVEN CONTROL THE VEHICLE ONCE IT ABRUPTLY STARTS. DEALER SAYS IT'S DAMPER NEEDS REPLACED FOR 250$. DOING THIS... BUT THIS REALLY FEELS LIKE THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUE OR COVERED UNDER A EASY CARE WARRANTY THAT I WAS DUPED INTO BUYING AS WELL. AFTER 4 MONTHS OF OWNING A 20,000$ CAR & NEARLY KILLED 5 TIMES IS OUTRAGEOUS. MANY PEOPLE...
