2008 Jeep Wrangler 4-DR 4X4 Wheels Problems

“While driving on interstate, I hit a small bump while making slight turn to the left. This caused the vehicle to shake violently out of control. I cannot emphasize enough how violent the shaking was... It felt as if the vehicle might actually come apart. I had to pull of the road to get it to stop. This has happened four times in the past six months. I have only owned the Jeep for a year.”

“Driving eastbound on I-40 at approximately 65mph, bump where bridge meets rd, front axle started vibrating tremendously and had to pull off rd to stop vibration. Have had this occurrence happen numerous times at 60-70mph and at 40-50mph at different places in nc. Recent occurrence happened 7-12-2012 at 40-50mph on regular rd. I have 2 small kids riding in Jeep with me. At 60-70mph, it can be very dangerous due to wanting to slow down quickly on highways with traffic...”

“My 2008 wrangler 4 door has had a consistent and unrepaired case of front end wobble that first occurred at 8000 miles. This a dealer show room model, everything is stock, there are no modifications at all. Three years and 60,000 miles later the dealership has tried 9 times to fix this with no success and nothing but stonewalling from chrysler corp.

I ended up in the median since I could not follow the curve of the road and was lucky to not be hit by other cars or the semi-truck.”

“I purchased a 2008 Jeep wrangler unlimited new. I have not modified my car in any way, nor have ever taken it four-wheeling. In june 2011 I experienced my first death wobble, an extremely violent, shaking of the front wheels. Since then, it has since happened five times, resulting in repairs (that still haven't solved the problem) totaling $1644.24 (not including tax). I most recently experienced the death wobble about four days ago on the highway (4/9/2014). I had it in to the shop to be fixed in early march with repairs costing over $950. …”
