“My Jeep was bought brand new less than a month ago and when I take my foot off the brake or press the brakes there's a noise. Its not the same noise that the car would make if the brakes where bad. I brought my car back to the dealer that I got it from and they said all jeeps do that which doesn't make any sense.”

“Jeep death wobble - whilst taking my son to school I was traveling at approximately 45 MPH, I stuck a small pothole with my right front tire. The vehicle front end began to shake violently as the steering wheel oscillated about 6 inches back and forth. It was very difficult to maintain control of the vehicle and nearly collided with center median and vehicles to my right. Slowing down to about 5 MPH caused the wobble to subside. This was an extremely scary event and could have caused injury/death of both of us had I lost control. A dashcam video of the incident can be provided if needed.”
