2002 Jeep Wrangler Steering Problems

“Purchased a 2002 Jeep from twin rivers auto sales, I did not receive a vehicle disclosure report and it was sold to me with a control arm bracket that was damaged was not attached to the frame which makes driving the vehicle impossible it is not attached to frame which could have cause other'and myself extreme harm or death. …”

“Death wobble experienced daily several times a day. I hit a bump or uneven patch of road and death wobble begins it usually starts at 35- 40 MPH. I sometimes have to slow all the way to 20 MPH to make it stop. I have replaced u joints, rear drive shaft, ball joints, tires, steering stabilizer, tie rods, gotten wheel balances many times, replaced drag link and all bushings. Nothing has helped so far.”

“Violent shaking (without warning) in the front end of my Jeep Wrangler on a four lane highway during rush hour traffic. Jarring and terrifying, I had to slow down, get over and get to the shoulder without causing an accident. Chrysler has known about this problem and has written a technical service advisory 19-002-12 august 2012 but to date august 2013 refuses to recall and correct this issue. I have a stock Jeep (I.e. No lift kits, wheels, suspension components or tires) that would wear on the steering components and I take good care of my Wrangler. …”

“As I was driving about 55 MPH the front end started to wobble very violently, I slammed on the brakes and it stopped, this has happened several times and is very scary and dangers thing.

This seems to be a design flaw that should have been fixed long ago. I have read online that there has been a lot of complaints made to the government and chrysler with no results. This needs to be investigated and fixed before people are killed.”

“We are a Jeep family. Jeep liberty 2002 was brought in for recall on the ball joints on 11/26/06. In early dec we started experiencing problems with steering. Brought the Jeep into dealership and they quoted us $1680 to replace power steering pressure line &switch & rack and pinion. I was surprised that a Jeep this new would have this problem. Dealership told us that 3 other Jeep libertys were serviced for the same problem within the last weeks. They said it was strange because the libertys had all just had the recall work done on the ball joints. …”
