2008 Jeep Wrangler 2-DR 4X4 Suspension Problems

“Leaving work, about 1 mile away on a flat straight road doing about 45-50 MPH the front end started shaking violently. Had to come to a complete stop. Started driving again and around 45 MPH I could feel it start again, let my foot of the gas and as it slowed down it stopped. Could not do more than 40 MPH for the ride home from work. Called dealership, they are going to look at it on 5/5/14.”

“While driving and when speed reached 55 -60 MPH, the steering had a small shaking to it. As time and more miles went by, it turned into uncontrollable steering. I had to let off the accelerator and coast to a slower speed. Eventually I could not drive the Jeep until I changed the torsion bar, tie rod ends and steering stabilizer, (twice, the last time with a heavy duty one) and then what fixed it was the steering gear box. …”

“While driving my 2008 Jeep wrangler at about 35-40 MPH over a rough spot on the road, I experienced horrible front end shake that I could not control until I pulled the car over. I'm very lucky there was nobody else in front or in back of me because I had no control of my vehicle. I looked into this online and have learned it's called the death wobble and it's happened to many other Jeep owners.”

“The death wobble is a nightmare. It's terrifying, not other way to describe it. The entire car shakes so violently you have no choice but to stop. It happened on busy highway (nj turnpike) and I almost caused an accident because I had to stop the Jeep with people travelling at speeds of 65mph and greater. I've called dealerships, they don't know how to fix it. It sounds like a waste of money for me to even attempt to fix it. Why has the Jeep wrangler not been recalled for this reason? It's outrageous for the amount of money these cars cost.”

“Experienced the notorious death wobble again today. This has happened plenty of times to me, but today it was the most severe and worrisome. The vehicle shakes and rattles so much that I expect pieces to fall off. Other cars pull up to me on the highway off ramp (where it often happens on our bumpy massachusetts roads) and ask if everything is okay. I'm not sure if I would buy this Jeep again. They really need to fix this. Articles online seem to suggest that it is the stock track bar, and if so, why won't chrysler just replace them?”
