NHTSA complaint #10107347, filed 2005-01, 36,000 miles“-at approximately fifty-five to sixty miles per hour, the vehicle's front end begins to shake violently. I have personally researched the problem and discovered that it is commonly called, death wobble amongst other Jeep owners. The issue typically occurs after hitting a bump in the road or driving around a bend on the highway. Since the first incident in early 2009, I have taken the vehicle to a number of different local mechanics for a diagnosis and have heard different suggested courses of action from each one. …”
